Beautiful botanical garden in Birmingham, Alabama
The Birmingham Botanical Gardens are the largest botanical gardens in Alabama and a real pleasure for nature lovers, couples, and those of us who just like relaxing strolls. One of the best parts is the sheer variety of gardens they have to explore: there's a Japanese-style garden, formal gardens, rose gardens, and even a garden dedicated to Southern Living magazine! Like I said, there's no shortage here!
The best plan is to just head into the garden and take a stroll wherever the wind takes you. Grab your significant other and just head down a trail, enjoying a conversation and the beautiful flowers in bloom. There's also a "Plant Adventure Zone" that has some education activities if you're traveling with kids and they get a bit restless among all the peace and quiet!
