Explore Old Hollywood at the city's most romantic escape
ATLANTA (February 1, 2019) – It's “lights, camera, action” during the most romantic night of the year at the Atlanta Botanical Garden’s annual Valentines in the Garden.

While there, enjoy an array of savory bites and desserts from Atlanta’s top chefs, dancing to live music, giveaways, vow renewals, cash bars and the opportunity to explore Orchid Daze. The annual plant exhibition, presented February 9 – April 7, features tropical settings lush with exquisite, fragrant orchids throughout the Fuqua Conservatory and Orchid Center, home to one of the largest collections of species orchids in the United States.
