My friend Christy(Peas for Prosperity) tweeted me to come out to the Botanical Gardens yesterday because they were having some great things going on. She is the guru in recycling and all things healthy living. My friend Lori and I cruised down there to find a lot of people out and about enjoying the beautiful sunny day.
Me,Christy and Chef Megan
Lori and her new friend lol
We met Christy and she introduced us to her friend, Megan McCarthy. Megan is a fab healthy lifestyle consultant and chef. She does cooking demos at the outdoor kitchen every saturday and sunday at the Botanical Gardens.
We walked through the gardens and saw Blown Organics: The Glass of Cohn-Stone Studios. The glass pumpkins were too cute and perfect for your garden at home. Their exhibit ends this month. I took pics of fun recycled art work by locals. The pink lady was my favorite!
We then moseyed over to the edible gardens were it was full of vegetables,fruits and herbs and edible flowers. The outdoor kitchen is there for Chefs to create delicious healthy recipes and the crowd can sample fresh from the garden. Chef Megan showed us the wall of herbs and where she prepares her food.
I had a great time at the Atlanta Botanical Gardens. I learned so much about mother nature, how to eat healthier and viewing the gardens. Thanks to Christy, Lori,Megan for a fabulous day in Atlanta! Enjoy the pics!

Thanks Tami! Great, as always, to see you. Yesterday was just gorgeous and I loved all of the statues made with recycled materials. Right up my alley! The pink lady was my favorite too! Glad you got to meet Chef Megan – she is a true gem, I am lucky to have her in my life!
Look forward to seeing you again soon!
I really enjoy the Atlanta Botanical Garden. It was my first time there and I will be back very soon!
Hey Tami!
So glad you made it out to the Atlanta Botanical Garden! I think it is one of the most peaceful places in all of Atlanta. The weather was perfect and it was so nice to meet you under ideal circumstances…doing what we both love to do! Let’s get together and cook it up soon!
