depends on the weather and the timing of cold fronts. If you can time it to just prior a cold front it should be fairly comfortable. I don't know about decorations but it probably is good. We went in the spring.

Hello! Pets are not allowed inside the Garden.

Hello! Wheelchairs and electric mobility scooters are available for rent at Garden Admissions and are available on a first come, first serve basis and cannot be reserved. Wheelchairs are complimentary during your visit and scooters are $25+tax for a 4-hour rental period. All scooter rentals must be paid for with a credit card and a photo I.D. is required. Scooters may not be rented in inclement weather. Limited quantity available.

Hello! Yes, you can pay cash for parking as you exit the SAGE parking facility.

Two hours should be allotted once you are inside. Also add time for sitting in the traffic jam outside of ABG on Piedmont (it's BAD).

Hmmm. They were just sticking their little faces out this past weekend. If we get some SUN, I would try in a couple of weeks. Maybe call them in 2 weeks, and then they SHOULD be blooming for a couple of weeks. There are also many varieties, and they will bloom in "waves of color!" Enjoy!

Yes

I think it's a fine time to visit, but weather patterns change from year to year a little bit. I took a look through my photos for the last 3 Marches. I have a striking photo from March 21, 2019 taken in the garden at an evening event. I know it was a little chilly but there are women in dresses. There are literally hundreds of tulips in the area I photographed, near the blue glass Chihuly fountain. There are also hundreds of white daffodils in that photo, as well as blooming fruit trees (plum??). In March 2018 I was in Austria, so I can't comment. In March 2017 I have photos from the garden and on street on March 5, 2017 of tulips. And lots and lots of orchid pictures from the Fuqua Orchid Conservatory for 2017. Orchid Daze is in February and I think runs into March??? Worth taking a look at their website for the dates as they pull out all the stops.

January is excellent, just dress warm and take a raincoat with a hood and umbrella in case in rain. Remember what do you do when it rains? Wear a raincoat.
