A damaged bee colony in the park gets some help from the Grant Park Conservancy, Arborguard Tree Specialists, Metro Atlanta Beekeepers Association, Cindy Bee and J.R. Cochran Sheet Metal and Roofing. Special Thanks to Chris Lane, Jonathan McNeil, Jim Ovbey, DuRant Warrick and Pete Fricker for their help. Read the story of our effort to save these industrious pollinators.
A particularly beautiful area of the park is an area I call "azalea basin." If you walk north from the zoo, along the road that is now sheltered from car traffic, you will see a long stretch of native azaleas along the right bank.
This is a listing of native and important historic plantings imported from Olmsted’s complete plant list. Not listed from Olmsted’s plantings are invasive exotic species
