Upcoming Events
Atlanta Botanical Gardens Gainesville, Ga
JuneFest at the Atlanta Botanical Garden Gainesville is one of the season’s most vibrant celebrations of nature, creativity, and community. This family-friendly event brings the Garden to life with live music, interactive experiences, and hands-on encounters with pollinators, beekeepers, and insect experts. Wander through the beauty of the gardens, enjoy art and entertainment, and explore a day designed to inspire all ages. I’ll be there with my illustrated books and original art prints—come experience the magic in person and take a piece of the forest home with you.
