The gardens are really well kept and beautiful. They have a community garden area where kids can walk around and see where their food grows. There is plenty of space to just hang out too. We took a blanket and a picnic lunch and just relaxed for a bit. Lots of shade and places for the kids to play. Since... More

My daughter and best friend and I went her this past week to do some photography. Even though there had been a lot of rain the week before, much of the blooms were still in tact. It is a very peaceful place to visit, to walk around in, photograph or meditate if you wish. The lady at the front desk... More

This is a small garden compared to gardens in Georgia like Callaway Garden, but is filled with samples of plants from around the world as well as local plants that will grow in the Metro Atlanta climate. Don't miss the large exhibit of bonzai trees. There is no food or snacks, but there are small intimate picnic areas in the... More

My daughter and I went to Smith Gilbert Gardens. We were really surprised how beautiful and big the gardens were. We had nice weather. This is a hidden treasure. We were very relaxed.

Went here with my brothers when they came to visit me from PA. Not to mention this is very close to my house. Nice nature-y activity and lovely staff.

Smith Gilbert Gardens surprise in small ways. It is not showy in the way that the Atlanta Botanical Garden is with its HUGE planting and maintenance budget. In October some late-season roses were impressive with their vibrant colors and wonderful scents and delicate camellias were blooming. It is peaceful, but the nearby airport interrupts that peace rather frequently with small... More

The gardens make for a pleasant hour's stroll. Interesting for young or old, and makes a change from shopping or eating in chain restaurants, which seems the main pastime for the area.

We live close to the gardens and attended the Rose Garden Gala which was fabulous. The speaker, Vince Dooley, was a pleasure and the auction (both silent and live) were a lot of fun! Gardens were beautiful and neat events and classes.

What a great little surprise! I have lived 2 miles from the gardens for 12 years and only visited for the first time last week. I expected a small, mediocre, backyard garden but I was wowed by everything this site has to offer. The staff there is friendly and helpful, identifying flowers for us and sharing the history of the... More

It's a great place to talk a walk, especially in the Springtime. Limited hours.
