Levy Parterre

Awarded the Atlanta Urban Design Commission Award of Excellence for Landscape Design in 2003, the Levy Parterre's formal, boxwood-edged beds are arranged symmetrically around an Italian limestone fountain featuring artist Dale Chihuly's dazzling blue and white glass sculpture dramatically poised above the water. Enjoy a spectacular view of the Levy Parterre and the Atlanta city skyline from the Alston Overlook.

North-south paths link GardenHouse with Mershon Hall, while east-west paths lead to the Rose Garden and provide additional glimpses of the Atlanta cityscape. Flower beds are designed to provide year-round color, combining perennials and terra-cotta containers for multi-season interest with annuals and bulbs. The Levy Parterre provides a colorful spot to sit and enjoy the fountain, view the Rose Garden from afar, or enjoy a snack on the Lanier Terrace.
