Woodlands Garden is officially OPEN to visitors
2021-04-16 | Woodlands Garden, 932 Scott Blvd., Decatur, GA, 30030, United States
After many months of construction, our fences are down and our doors are officially open to everyone!
Come stroll the trails and celebrate spring (and Earth Day on April 22!) at Woodlands while enjoying the wonderful changes our generous community has made possible. Those changes include a new greenscaped entrance, parking for school buses, better access to the Garden’s trails, and a refurbished Visitor Center – all accompanied by the serenity, birds, native plants and trees you’ve enjoyed at Woodlands in seasons past.
Help spread the word: Follow the Garden on social media (Facebook and Instagram), then tag Woodlands with images of your visit, and share your favorite plants or parts of your experience.
As a reminder, Woodlands asks all visitors to:
Visit during daylight hours
Stay on the paths
Leave dogs at home
Park in designated parking spaces (directions here)
While there is no admission fee for Woodlands, we rely on your donations for continued maintenance and fun programs–give today here!
Thank you so much for your continued support and patience while we completed this exciting construction project! We look forward to seeing you on the Garden’s trails soon.

Woodlands is thrilled to partner with Skyland Trail for the eighth annual ‘Fairies in the Garden’ celebration. Skyland Trail artists will create intricate tiny houses in the woods, just for you to find. They could be tucked away below an old tree, under a bridge or right along the trails.
Discover tiny fairy dwellings built from bark, twigs, branches, seed heads, leaves and other natural materials, tucked in sheltered nooks along the garden’s paths. Colonies will include root fairies, stump fairies, fortress fairies, moss fairies … and of course trolls under the bridge.
You can follow the fairy map (check out Facebook page for updates) or go exploring around the garden to seek out these enchanting fairy houses. We will also give you a whole bunch of clues to help you find them all! This year’s Fairy Celebration will include a host of fun activities and the ever-popular ‘Grand Summoning of the Fairies’ followed by the trail parade.
Volunteers needed for this exciting event! Please sign up to volunteer here.
