Bellingrath Gardens

Bellingrath Gardens and Home is decorated with a colorful floral array. Before the Bellingrath Gardens and Home Park became what it is today, Walter Bellingrath purchased the 60-acre lot as a fishing camp; it was his wife, Bessie, who turned it into an estate.

Take a walking tour through Alabama's Bellingrath Gardens to gaze at the most exotic floral assortments such as the orchids and birds-of-paradise at the pearly white Conservatory.

Mirror Lake attracts bird lovers with its graceful swans and Canadian geese while bright red and yellow tulips engulf the shore.
