PLAN AHEAD AND MARK YOUR CALENDARS FOR SCARECROWS IN THE GARDEN

Registration is now open for Scarecrows in the Garden, the annual showcase of community entries on exhibit in October at both the Midtown and Gainesville locations of the Atlanta Botanical Garden.

The gardens will be stuffed with more than 100 scarecrows created by artists, designers, schools, businesses and families September 28 – October 31. Participants compete for prizes in the categories of professional, nonprofessional or business.

On Thursday evenings at the Atlanta garden, visitors may explore the scarecrows under the glare of flashlights (which they are encouraged to bring) during Fest-of-Ale. Each week from 5 - 9 p.m. the beer fest features a variety of specialty ales at cash bars and live musical entertainment. On the night of October 28, check out the Great Pumpkin-Carving Contest.

For youngsters, harvest-themed treats and activities will be on tap on Sunday, Oct. 24 when they can don their favorite costumes during Goblins in the Garden at both gardens.
