For a spring trip we went to Bellingrath Gardens and Home, in Theodore Alabama, these photos are from April 5, 2024....
We've been here before, (this is our third time here over the last 15 years), but I love this place and it's always a treat to get the chance to go here....the other times we were here it was summertime, very hot and humid. This time it was cooler and we got to see different things in bloom....
Petunias were blooming everywhere...
The roses were not blooming yet this time, (it's still spring), but so much was blooming and the cooler temperatures were wonderful this day that we didn't mind, we've seen them in full bloom another time when we were here, it is a sight to behold...
The greenhouse was warm inside and is filled with pretty tropical looking plants...
There are so many unique water features in the gardens...
and the garden paths are all paved...
The home is beautiful, it is something to see, we've been inside for the tour on a previous visit....I would highly recommend going on the home tour....
Here's the water view from the house...
They said that this year the azaleas had started blooming and then a cold front came in and the flowers fell off, so there wasn't a show of them this year, but we did find a few with blooms (above)...
There are lots of shady areas to sit for a rest and take in the views...
The Delchamps Gallery of Boehm Porcelain is included in the admission charge and inside you'll see some exhibits of this amazing porcelain collection in glass cases, it is air conditioned inside the building, and there are bathroom facilities and a place to sit to watch a video about the history of Bellingrath and Boehm Porcelain....
Here are a few photos of some of the displays that are in the glass cases....truly this is an amazing and talented artist....
Bellingrath Gardens even has a small Chapel...
There is a boardwalk trail that follows along the marshy area of this waterway...
So many places to stop for a fun pose....
If you are looking for a beautiful, quiet, and peaceful place to visit, and you are ever near the Mobile Alabama area, Bellingrath Gardens and Home is a must see. We enjoyed every minute of our day here.
