The Gardens of Fischer Mansion

Fischer Mansion Gardens

During the 1930′s, Lucy Fisher’s flowers were one of Atlanta’s most popular attractions. Fischer Mansion’s gardens were open to the public, and drew thousands of weekend visitors to “Flowerland,” as the property was then called.

A 1939 article claimed that the Fischers had planted as many as 16,000 plants on the estate, in 487 varieties. It’s said that the property boasted 10 acres of roses alone!

Honoring the Fischer Legacy

To honor the FIschers’ legacy of horticultural beauty, we have revived many of the estate’s wonderful gardens and preserved the huge trees hugging the banks of Nancy Creek. Almost two acres of original trails, stone walls and garden spots have been cleared and refreshed, and many areas have been replanted by hand with period-appropriate plants to preserve the heritage of the property.

Fischer Mansion residents will have access to an expanse of woodlands, and will enjoy strolling among the estate’s dogwoods, azaleas, rhododendron, boxwoods, hydrangeas and fragrant shrubs. Thousands of hillside flowers will greet visitors in the spring and summer, and fall color will abound.

We’re confident that Lucy Fischer would not have wanted it any other way.
