A Visit to Birmingham Botanical Gardens

By Wendy
Saturday, October 19th, 2013

October may not be the best season to visit theΒ Birmingham Botanical GardensΒ but I was still blown away by how beautiful everything was. One of my favorite books as a child wasΒ The Secret Garden, and whenever I find myself roaming through a garden I feel like I’ve entered into a magical place.

In fact the gardens were so beautiful and calming that I quickly checked to see if they were hiring (they weren’t, dang!), as I could see myself happily immersed there for a long time. I’ve been all over the country many times now and I was surprised to find Birmingham a very lovely place, especially with fall rolling in. It’s a city I would never have before thought to visit so I’m grateful for the circumstances that brought me there. As most everything in my life, it happened on a whim!Β And now I have a new favorite place to visit.

P.S. A stroll through the wonderful gardens is absolutely free!
