We have a lot of well-known botanical gardens in the Peach State. Our warm climate lends itself well to growing a variety of plants. One garden in Georgia that we feel doesn’t get quite the attention it deserves is the Cator Woolford Garden. This spot in Druid Hills is so unknown that even many locals aren’t familiar with it, but it’s a stunning event venue and an absolutely amazing place for a stroll!

This magical oasis is right in Druid Hills, but when you're here, you'll feel light years away from the urban sprawl of Atlanta.

The garden is located on the property of an Italian-style estate originally owned by Cator Woolford, the founder of what is now Equifax.
