Olguita's Garden

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.

Our gardens are perfect spot for a small elopement, vow renewal, or a wedding ceremony.

On December 24, thermometers dipped to 8 degrees Fahrenheit, the coldest temperature seen in our area since 2014. Damages to the gardens in the metro area as a result of this polar plunge are now fully manifesting, and Goizueta Gardens is no exception. All this carnage certainly brings a tear to every gardener’s eye but not everything is dead! Though it may seem that way initially.

Although it may seem there is little to see in a winter garden, Olguita’s Garden will show you otherwise.

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.

Explore a rich tapestry of flowering and foliage plants selected for color, fragrance, texture, and an English garden aesthetic.

Add on these hidden gems to any Atlanta History Center venue for a secluded cocktail hour or ceremony.

Honoring the life of Goizueta Gardens namesake Olga “Olguita” C. de Goizueta, this ornamental garden is designed for the enjoyment of flowering and fragrant plants—a place of beauty for quiet reflection amid the hectic pace of city life.
