It's the perfect garden . . . . . . because something's always in bloom at the John A. Sibley Horticultural Center. This one-of-a-kind garden/greenhouse encompasses five acres of native and exotic plants within its tropical conservatory, rock wall garden, sculpture garden, fern grotto, main conservatory and outdoor garden. An exhilarating 22-foot indoor waterfall, "Partners in Time" bronze sculpture and spectacular seasonal displays make any visit special. The Center recently received a $3.5 million renovation which included a new glass roof, wider walkways, new ventilation systems and a root warming system. New Mediterranean garden added to the uniqueness of this facility, and a renovated sculpture garden provides a lovely garden setting for contemplation. Nearby production greenhouses provide the beginnings of the beauty that eventually makes the scene at the Sibley Horticutural Center. Named in memory of John A. Sibley, a Georgia banker, lawyer, civic leader and agricultural enthusiast, the Center was built on innovative environmental design concepts that provide maximum energy conservation. The Sibley Center includes a gift shop in the lobby where you'll find a terrific selection of gardening-themed items including books, tools, birdhouses, T-shirts, toys and home decor items to inspire your green thumb! With its unending beauty, the Sibley Center is ideal for special events, especially weddings and receptions.
