The Scarecrows in the Garden exhibit runs through November 1 and includes creations reaching 12 feet in celebration of the Garden’s 50th anniversary. Today’s special opening makes a weekday visit possible. The Fuqua Conservatory has scheduled power washing October 12–17, so some areas may be noisy or affected.
What to do: Check the official visitor page, then spend an hour walking the outdoor displays. Scan the visitor-center code to vote for a favorite scarecrow.
