My first visit to the Atlanta Botanical Gardens was during one of their “Scarecrows in the Garden” exhibits.

I was amazed by the creativity portrayed through the whimsical creations.

The annual tradition features wild and wacky creations from individuals, businesses, organizations and designers throughout Atlanta.
