Alice’s Wonderland
Returns

About the Exhibition in Atlanta

Alice’s Wonderland Returns, set for May 11 – September 15, features seven installations of 38 of the topiary-like mosaiculture pieces throughout the Garden.

“Ever since we featured Alice a few years ago, there’s rarely a week that goes by that a guest doesn’t ask when we’re bringing her back to the Garden,” said Mary Pat Matheson, the Garden’s President & CEO. “She is just that incredibly popular!”

Alice and company first debuted at the Garden in 2019’s Imaginary Worlds: Alice’s Wonderland. The exhibition was so well received it returned in 2020 along with several new sculptures for a revival called Alice’s Wonderland Reimagined.

For the spring show, look for a towering Alice to twirl in Howell Fountain, the giant White Rabbit to hold court in the Skyline Garden pond and a colorful chess set to marvel at in Skyline’s Event Lawn. In addition, the enormous Red Queen will dominate one edge of the Great Lawn, three Storybooks will greet guests after passing through the Visitor Center, and the ever-popular Cheshire Cat will keep an eye on it all from its perch in Alston Overlook. New this spring will be the addition of Singing Flowers along the Flower Walk, blooming to recorded music as guests pass by.

The Planting Process

About the exhibition

The sculptures are created through the centuries-old art of mosaiculture in which steel forms are covered in fabric, filled with soil and planted with thousands of living plants.

The Garden introduced guests to the art in 2013 when it presented the United States’ first major exhibition of mosaiculture produced by International Mosaiculture de Montreal®, a nonprofit group that has staged wildly successful displays of its work around the world.

Guests will also enjoy two permanent sculptures from previous shows – the iconic Earth Goddess and the lovable Shaggy Dog.

Guests may enjoy the sculptures dramatically lit nightly during extended hours until 9 p.m.
