Marietta Educational Garden Center

The Marietta Educational Garden Center, Inc. is a 501{c}3 non-profit organization headquartered in the historic, antebellum home, Fair Oaks c. 1852, located on Kennesaw Avenue in Marietta. Fair Oaks is home to the member clubs comprising the Marietta Council of Garden Clubs. Promoting the study of horticulture and the love of gardening throughout our community is our mission. Our member clubs have encouraged civic beautification, conservation, and pollution control for over forty years and are actively involved in the protection of native trees, wildflowers and birds, and the preservation of our beloved Fair Oaks.

The Garden Center remains one of the largest privately owned and maintained green spaces in Cobb County and is a rarity in the arena of non-profits devoted to protecting our environment and promoting a healthy lifestyle which includes gardening.

Prominently located on 3.5 acres in historic Marietta, the enchanting antebellum home lends itself to indoor and outdoor small intimate gatherings as well as large formal weddings and receptions. This attractive home, handicap accessible, is decorated with exquisite period antiques and rugs and the beautifully landscaped gardens include a charming gazebo.
