The ABG's Conservation Program Conservation has always been an integral part of the Atlanta Botanical Garden's mission. Read more about this program. The Dorothy Chapman Fuqua Conservatory displays plants from tropical and desert climatic zones around the world. Permanent displays focus on plant diversity, ecological principles, conservation and adaptations to specific environments with an emphasis on education.
Priority is given to plants which are sensitive, rare, threatened or endangered.
Funding for the Conservatory was given by Atlanta businessman J.B. Fuqua. The building is named for his wife, Dorothy, who is one of the Garden's Lifetime Trustee's. It opened in 1989. Copyright 1999 Atlanta Botanical Gardens, All rights reserved.
