Mobile Botanical Gardens
A botanical garden in Langan Park known for its camellias, azaleas and native longleaf pine forest trails, quiet and uncrowded.
The Mobile Botanical Gardens cover about 40 hectares and hold large collections of camellias, azaleas, ferns and native herbaceous plants, along with a native longleaf pine forest for hiking. The gardens are at their most beautiful in spring, when the flowers are in bloom. They are smaller and less famous than Bellingrath Gardens, but admission is cheap and crowds are light, which makes them ideal for plant lovers. They sit next to the Mobile Museum of Art, so you can visit both on the same day.
Opening hours
Mon–Sat 9:00 am–4:00 pm (check the official website)
