Scarecrows in the Garden

Atlanta’s favorite fall tradition returns with colorful community creations by local schools, families, artists, businesses and nonprofits. In celebration of the Garden’s 50th Anniversary, we’re going even bigger this year with a new, invitation-only category: Supersized Scarecrows. These larger-than-life scarecrows will take over the new Great Lawn Garden, reaching heights up to 12’ tall. Entries compete for prizes, including Golden Tickets – a year of Garden events – Family-level memberships, curated gift baskets from the Garden Gift Shop and more. Entries will also compete for the Visitor’s Choice Award! During your visit, scan the QR code in the Hardin Visitor Center to vote for your favorite scarecrow. Voters with valid email addresses will be entered for a chance to win a Family-level membership! Winners will be announced via the Garden’s social media and in person at the Great Pumpkin-Carving Festival.

Details come from the organizer or a community submission and can change. Confirm the latest date, time and access information before attending.
