I've been to the Atlanta History Center a number of times recently. For a Curtis Stone lecture and book signing, a catered special event, and I renewed my membership. On one of those visits, a touring companion noted how beautiful the poppies were that are blooming in front of the Kenan Research Center.

Interestingly enough, these are part of the landscaping, not one of the many gorgeous gardens on the expansive 33-acre complex. For your viewing pleasure, here's a list of the gardens visitors get to explore when touring the Center:
- Swan House Gradens and Grounds
- The Mary Howard Gilbert Memorial Quarry Garden
- Tullie Smith Farm Garden
- Cherry Simms Asian-American Garden
- Swan Woods Trail
- Frank A. Smith Rhododendron
- Connor Brown Discovery Trail
So, you see, there are a lot of gardens to discover at the Atlanta History Center, but I recommend keeping an eye out for splendid specimens such as these poppies even when exploring other parts of the Center.
