This summer, the Atlanta Botanical Garden is offering a fairytale journey through its grounds with its “Imaginary Worlds: Alice’s Wonderland” exhibit. Based on the iconic children’s book, Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carrol, the exhibit features life-sized sculptures of Carrol’s characters such as the White Rabbit and Cheshire Cat.

The two largest sculptures are the 16-foot-tall Red Queen and a 14-foot-tall sculpture of Alice rotating in the garden’s Howell Fountain pool. All of the designs are created according to the long-standing tradition of mosaiculture, which is a form of horticulture art where giant sculptures are created by using thousands of bedding plants attached to frames made of steel.
