The outdoor offerings here are only average but the highlight is a striking modern complex of connected conservatories. This features a desert house, orangerie with tropical medicinal and economic collections, a fantastic orchid house, and a very lush tropical rotunda. This rotunda is the reason the garden is listed on Zoochat because it contains free roaming dart and tree frogs, geckos, tortoises, and birds such as saffron finches and quail.

@geomorph Do you have a ranking of your favorite botanical gardens that you have visited, as you do for zoos and aquariums? If so, what are your top five?
 
@DavidBrown I do have a list of 'Garden Attractions' I have visited, which are generally gated or contained specialty gardens or conservatories that are not casual parks. The top ones are:

Butchart Gardens, Victoria BC
Lotusland, Montecito CA
The Huntington Library and Gardens, San Marino CA
Villa d'Este, Tivoli, ITALY
Filoli, Woodside CA

Atlanta Botanical Gardens ranks at number 25 out of 47.
