Birmingham Botanical Gardens

Whenever I’m back home in the “HAM” I always try and make time to stroll around BBG and relax. It’s awesome here no matter the season.

Passing through, I needed to stretch my legs so I took a detour to the gardens. I was only able to see the Japanese garden. It is beautiful! The landscaping is on point. The only suggestion I would give would be to clean the water.
The Gardens on 69 acres of beautiful manicured and woodland landscape! Truest a place to visit
