Goizueta Gardens at Atlanta History Center have a substantial collection of Trillium as part of our Georgia Native Plant Collection. We have populations that occur naturally in the woods on the campus and species that have been planted as part of our living collections.

Weather permitting, every Saturday afternoon between 2 and 3 it’s time for sheep to stroll and goats to promenade. That’s when Brett Bannor, Manager of Animal Collections, walks animals from the Smith Farm flock around the campus, giving visitors a chance to meet and learn about our heritage breed livestock.

On October 30, 2023, Olguita’s Garden will celebrate its 5th anniversary! This special garden was created in honor of Olga C. de Goizueta. Special thanks to The Goizueta Foundation for their generous support of Atlanta History Center through the years, and specifically for their continued commitment to Goizueta Gardens.

There is always something new to discover in this garden of flowers and fragrance, just behind the museum. To achieve year-round bloom, Goizueta Gardens staff carefully select seasonal plants to incorporate into the beds and borders that complement the permanent collections.

Our newest series of garden spaces is designed to immerse visitors in a thoughtfully curated environment from the minute they enter the property.
