The Botanical gardens is free to the general public and provides a lovely place to walk through and enjoy nature, relax on your lunch break, or educate yourself on native species. The main building houses a branch of the Jefferson County library but focuses mainly on gardening resources. However there is free WiFi so it makes for a nice place to sit and study.
Great place to relax and take in nature. My family and I did our Christmas photos here and were able to get some really good photos with beautiful trees and flowers as the backdrop. Will definitely go back in the spring to see everything in bloom! Highly recommend bring the whole family.
Beautiful collection of gardens. Featured Gardens include a Japanese garden, a wildflower Garden, a vegetable garden, a water lily area, hey beautiful beautiful rose garden. The greenhouse areas are filled with tropical plants a cacti and succulents of thousands varieties.
I love this place! I was there taking engagement photos. It is free! They have different sections of gardens including the rose garden, Japanese garden, Alabama wildflowers, and a greenhouse full of fruit trees and succulents.
Please give a donation! It's amazing that such a wonderful place is free. There is a donation box where you can drop in a couple dollars or whatever you feel like. Putting in $1-5 in the donation box is a steal for the immaculate garden experience.
The Landscaping makes the parking areas looks very inviting and comfortable. The walking areas are wide and gently sloping. The library includes mini books on different Garden needs including books on trees, wildflowers, weed control and a variety of other subjects all plant related.
Whether at a catered event or just going to visit you need to try the restaurant at the gardens. The food is delicious and service is very good because of a very attentive staff.
Twice a year they open the tea house in the Japanese garden and anyone can go in and get tea.
In summation, the Birmingham Botanical Gardens is a jewel within the Birmingham Park and Recreation family. It is right across the street from the Birmingham Zoo. It is located in the Mountain Brook area. The only nice hotels an additional restaurants in the area. The gardens offer something for everyone in the family.
