Mobile Botanical Gardens

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Mobile Botanical Gardens (100 acres; 40 hectares) are young botanical gardens located on Museum Drive, Mobile, Alabama, USA. They were established in 1974 and open to the public.

The gardens include cultivated areas, woodland trails, and a longleaf pine forest. The major divisions are as follows:

• Camellia Winter Garden
• Fern Glade
• Founders Fragrance & Texture Garden
• Herb Garden
• Japanese Maple Garden
• Longleaf Pine Forest
• Rhododendron Garden

The Rhododendron Garden deserves special mention. Currently being redesigned, it will soon include about 1,000 evergreen azaleas and native azaleas. When complete, this will be the most comprehensive rhododendron collection on the Gulf Coast.
