Let there be lights!. Atlanta Botanical Garden

Winter comes alive at the Atlanta Botanical Garden in Georgia for two months every year with a dazzling holiday lights display, 'Garden Lights, Holiday Nights,' which began in 2011 and has become a holiday tradition for local families and many tourists. Behind the shimmering lights, the garden staff has decades of experience in plant conservation and species recovery through the Southeastern Centre for Conservation. The centre works locally and globally to help efforts to preserve and proliferate a variety of plant species.
