Everything's coming up tulips, and thousands of other bulb varieties, at the Atlanta Botanical Garden.
Not even my black lab turning into a yellow lab during the pollen-laden spring months in Atlanta can dampen my enthusiasm and raging case of spring fever. Here are just a few places to get your spring on, ATL-style.
Atlanta Botanical Garden
Last year the Botanical Garden planted more than 100,000 new bulbs, including 70,000 tulips, for a count of more than 200,000 blooms. Check it out at Atlanta Blooms: 200,000 Watts of Flower Power! from March 22 to May 1.
And while you’re there, visit the second location of MetroFresh in the expanded Garden café. You’ll find soup, sandwiches and salads offered for breakfast and lunch.
Urban Picnics, Auburn Curb Market
The Atlanta Street Food Coalition is continuing its battle with the city to move around freely but you can be sure to find them at the Urban Picnics at the Sweet Auburn Curb Market, where between 6-10 trucks park and serve up everything from Korean tacos to meatball sliders to hotdogs on a French toast bun. The first picnic was March 12 but mark your calendars for the next one, April 9. Check out other events here.
