Six gardens. Six different worlds.
This is East Atlanta in bloom.
From a community-rooted sanctuary built for healing and connection…
to a backyard transformed into a gnome-worthy enchantment…
to a historic food forest where conservation and cultivation grow side by side…
You’ll wander through a hidden oasis complete with bridges, water, and quiet magic…
step into a rewilded arboretum buzzing with pollinators and possibility…
and experience a living, breathing example of what happens when people choose to care for land instead of develop it.
This is the heart of the Pushing Up Daisies Garden Tour—and it’s yours to explore.
🕚 May 9th, Garden Tour runs 11AM–3PM then Music, Drinks, Food and Art in the Cemetery 2PM - 6PM
🌸 Come curious. Leave inspired (and maybe plotting your next garden project).
