The publication’s panel of experts praised all of the plant havens for promoting and conserving plant diversity, “all while showcasing their vast collections in stunning, visitor friendly ways,” the site wrote.
However, only 10 gardens will be included on the 10Best Reader’s Choice list.

ABG, incorporated in 1976, has 30 acres of plants, trees, flowers and other greenery. Located adjacent to Piedmont Park, its mission is to "develop and maintain plant collections for the purposes of display, education, conservation, research and enjoyment," according to its website.
Throughout the year, it hosts several popular events, including the holiday light show, the scarecrow attraction and many other exhibits.
