This Sunday is your final opportunity to experience the Atlanta Botanical Garden’s annual Orchid Daze. This year’s Orchid Daze combines the beauty of the Atlanta Botanical Garden’s world-renowned Orchid collection with extraordinary pieces of art glass curated by Seranda Vespermann of Vespermann-Cooper Gallery. 11 well-known artists from around the United States have provided the artwork which will be available for purchase in the Garden Gift Shop. A portion of the proceeds will benefit the mission-based programs of the Garden. Don’t miss out on your chance to own a piece of this one-of-a-kind art glass. Orchid Daze ends this Sunday, April 5 and is open to the public 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. daily. Orchid Daze is held in the Fuqua Orchid Center and Fuqua Conservatory.
