One of my favorite annual events is "Scarecrows in the Garden" at the Atlanta Botanical Garden...and it keeps getting better year after year!
The alien duo above is part of a trio (see all of the at the bottom of this post). They appear to be human size...until you look at the female of the three who is towering over a tiny, tiny human being. This is "Pumpkinvasion!" You'll find this one in the Children's Garden.
Atlanta has a lot of Gone With the Wind fans, a Pulitzer Prize-winning book authored right here in Atlanta! Did you know that super fans of Gone With the Wind are called "Windies"? You'll find this one on the Promenade.
This faerie is tiny...absolutely tiny! This diorama fascinated me...mostly for the incredible amount of work that went into it...there are a lot more faeries here! You'll find this one in Alston Overlook.
Day of the Dead has been represented in this exhibition for as long as I can remember, and it's always done well. You can find this one on the Promenade.
How could anyone not love E.T. The Extraterrestrial. He's adorable and introduced me to Reese's Pieces! I lived in Pinedale, Wyoming, when the movie came out in 1982. We didn't have a movie theater, so we had to drive 37 miles to the next town to see the movie...an experience I'll never forget. This one is in the Children's Garden.
Would it be Halloween without a vampire? Don't think so. This one is on the Promenade.
There are so many clever scarecrows...every year! This one is "Now you see me, now you don't." This one is on the Promenade just as your approaching the Canopy Walk.
"Revenge"...need I say more? This one is on the Promenade near the new Linton's restaurant.
Scarecrow builders are consistently clever and love a play on words. Scarecrow...get it? ScareCROW. LOL This one is on the path heading to the Children't Garden.
Make your way to see Scarecrows in the Garden by October 30, and while you're there, be sure to check out the 19 installations in the Chihuly in the Garden exhibition, also closing on October 30.
Have fun!
