It has 30 acres and is composed of a number of smaller themed gardens. Each contains different landscapes to display a variety of plants. The Atlanta Botanical Garden also is home to the Kendeda Canopy Walk, a 600-foot-long (180 m) skywalk that allows the visitors to tour one of the city's last remaining urban forests from around 40 feet in the air through the treetops of the Storza Woods.
