Native Gardens
The Native Gardens initiative is creating a connected wellness journey through Downtown Atlanta, linking together pocket gardens filled with local plant species. These gardens serve as living sanctuaries where people can gather, connect with nature, and experience environmental stewardship in action. By restoring public spaces with native plants, the initiative supports local pollinators, enhances biodiversity, and reduces maintenance costs while beautifying the urban landscape. As this network of gardens grows with properties joining in, a green corridor will form through downtown's core, offering peaceful moments of nature amid city life and creating opportunities for community engagement and education.
