Bellingrath Gardens And Home

We visited Bellingrath in 2003 – as we were passing through southern Alabama enroute to Pensacola, Florida. We went during the week, and had the place almost all to ourselves in the midsummer heat.

As gardens go, it was lush and impressive, with a fantastic, impeccably-manicured sloping lawn, reflective ponds, and historic buildings, which enhanced the landscapes’ charm.

At the time we went, the gardens were also home to a good number of bunnies (those garden pests), and we, as bunny-lovers, made a game of spotting rabbits nibbling on the great lawn. : )
