Mission Statement

Friends of Birmingham Botanical Gardens is a mission-driven membership organization that seeks to protect, nurture, and share the wonders of the Birmingham Botanical Gardens, the result of a public/private partnership between the City of Birmingham and the nonprofit. Together, the City and Friends work side by side to fulfill the Gardens’ mission.

Description

A cherished place of respite and inspiration since 1962, Birmingham Botanical Gardens promotes a passion for plants, gardens, and the natural world. Located in the heart of Birmingham, Alabama-in one of the most biodiverse areas in the United States-this urban oasis encompasses 67 acres featuring more than two dozen garden spaces that reflect the region’s rich and varied terrain and showcase the many plants that thrive in Southern gardens. Each year, the Gardens welcomes more than 330,000 visitors from across the region and around the world, providing both a meaningful connection to nature and a vibrant source of plant, gardening, wellness, and environmental education.



The Gardens are free and open to the public every day of the year. Seasonal hours correspond with daylight savings time. An onsite horticulture library, classes, lectures, special events, and children's programming are conducted year round to promote the Gardens and fulfill our mission.
