The Atlanta Botanical Garden plays host to their annual Summer series, Concerts In The Garden.... We attended last night's show featuring 2 of my very favorite singer/songwriters, Mary Chapin Carpenter & Shawn Colvin. Friends for 30 years, the pair take the stage together, singing songs from each of their repertoires as well as tunes from beloved colleagues... a video from a 2012 performance together attached below.
A few details.... tickets are general admission, with open lawn seating. Its first come/first serve, so attendants can line up at the gates prior to their opening (an hour before the performance), to guarantee a spot up close to the stage. All food & drinks are provided through the Garden. Atlanta's Metro Fresh handles the catering and pre-orders can be made online up to 72 hours before the concert. The parking deck makes parking super easy, with access from the Garden's main entrance off of Piedmont as well as access from Monroe Drive.
