Fall 2020 marked a wonderful milestone of our partnership with the Junior League of Birmingham, whose “Can You Dig It?’ service track has enabled the Friends of Birmingham Botanical Gardens to share these beloved Gardens with tens of thousands of local schoolchildren.
Thanks to thoughtful design and the devotion of a caring volunteer community, a once-forgotten garden space now serves as a place that allows thousands of families to remember, find comfort, and heal.
From last year’s compost comes a reminder of nature’s perseverance.
From leading tours and pruning junipers to sharing his favorite recipe for koi food, volunteer Norm Geisinger brings the Japanese Garden to life for visitors of all ages.
We are delighted to introduce a new logo that represents the Friends’ desire to serve the Gardens and all who love and visit it.
