Since 1962, Birmingham Botanical Gardens has welcomed visitors from across the region and around the world to explore the Gardens' botanical treasures; enjoy nature; and learn about plants, gardening, and the environment. The Gardens' 67.5 acres contain more than 12,000 plants showcased in two dozen gardens inspired by culture, nature, and collections. A facility of the Birmingham Park and Recreation Board, the Gardens is the result of a public/private partnership between the City of Birmingham and the nonprofit Friends of Birmingham Botanical Gardens, a mission-driven membership organization that seeks to protect, nurture, and share the wonders of the Gardens.
