Springing into a Hsv Botanical Gardens springtime


Putting my new membership to good use, I have been at the Huntsville Botanical Gardens a lot lately, watching the buds burst into bloom. Soon the green will come creeping.


We've had a nice mild spring this year. Usually in North Alabama we jump directly to summer and waves of heat. Nice spring showers and mild temps have made for a very enjoyable time for both the plants and the people.



The koi have braved the ice and are happily swimming once more in the water gardens.



The silver painted trees that added interest in the winter still shine in the spring sun.




Woodland flowers slowly slither across the ground, covering it in a green blanket with little stars.


Narcissus cover the hill along the Dogwood Trail.


Tulips are out in full force. Love these purple ones!




Have you been to the Gardens?
