Bellingrath Gardens and Home

Steve’s take

Bellingrath Gardens is sixty-five acres of flowers, fountains, and Southern garden excess about twenty minutes south of I-10 near Mobile. Your kids will be moderately interested for about forty-five minutes. Your spouse will want to live here. The gardens change by season — azaleas in spring, roses in summer, mums in fall, and Christmas lights that are genuinely spectacular. This is a 'for the grown-ups' stop, and grown-ups deserve stops too.
