15. The Atlanta Botanical Garden is a private garden

A substantial entry fee is charged. The annual budget is over 34 million dollars.

In contrast, the State Botanical Garden of Georgia in Athens,GA is a public garden. No entry or parking fees are charged. The state only funds about 1.5 million of the annual operating costs. The SBG, the Board of Directors and the Friends of the State Botanical Garden (membership group) must raise all other funds to operate, maintain, support and improve the garden and its research and missions.

Since the SBG is part of The University of Georgia (Office of Public Service and Outreach), no weapons may be carried onto the 313 acre property as per Georgia law.
