The Atlanta Botanical Garden's Smithgall Woodland Garden in Gainesville, Georgia, is currently not open to the public.

The Smithgall Woodland Garden is a 168-acre satellite garden of the Atlanta Botanical Garden in Gainesville, Ga., where collections of trees and shrubs will be grown and studied. Charles and Lessie Smithgall of Gainesville donated the land to the Garden in 2000.

The Smithgall Woodland Garden will be used to expand the Garden's current native plant conservation program, and endangered plants will be propagated on the site. Additionally, plants will be grown from seeds collected in Asia and evaluated for their suitability to southeastern landscapes. The wooded portions of the land will be maintained in their natural state.

Other uses for the property include educational programs, cooperative programs with other environmental groups and land restoration.
