Our Board of Directors has worked hard to preserve and promote the pristine Piedmont forest that was so generously given by the Morse family for the enjoyment of the public. Our sincere hope is that people will have the opportunity to enjoy a quiet stroll through the Garden or participate in one of our varied programs, including music performances, birding workshops, and children’s programs such as our annual Fairies in the Garden event.

On behalf of the Board, we are grateful to our many supporters and friends in Decatur (and beyond) who have helped us to preserve and enhance Woodlands. We look forward to seeing you at the Garden soon and would welcome your suggestions on how we can best use this beautiful greenspace to benefit our community.
