Aldridge Botanical Gardens is located on the corner of Lorna Road and Rocky Ridge Ranch Road in Hoover.

"Hummingbirds Galore!"

Saturday, February 6

10:00 - 11:30 a.m.

Instructors: Martha and Bob Sargent

$12 Members/$15 Non-Members

Class size is limited. Pre-registration suggested.

Through a dazzling Power Point presentation, our nationally renowned instructors will tell you all you need to know to make your yard a haven for hummers as they migrate back to our area in next month in March. You'll find out about the best feeders and plants as well as how to discourage those pesky ants, wasps and bees. Participants will also take a look at all the North American nesting species and learn which have occasionally spent the winter in Alabama. Q and A to follow.

"A Garden of Destiny" Now Available!

A Garden of Destiny is available now at Aldridge Botanical Gardens for a $20 donation

Eddie Aldridge's new book documents the history of the Gardens and the seemingly inevitable series of events that many might call destiny. It also includes personal stories beginning with their nursery business and the purchase and their life on the property that they eventually donated and helped develop into the beautiful woodland garden now known as Aldridge Botanical Gardens in Hoover.
