One of the many treasures of L.A. (thats Lower Alabama), is Bellingrath Gardens. It is 9 miles east to I-10 exit 13 and then about 9 miles south to Bellingrath Gardens in Theodore, AL.
From the
glorious array of Mums silhouetting Mirror Lake in late Autumn to the
breathtaking explosion of over 250,000 Azaleas in Spring, Bellingrath Gardens is
in full bloom year-round.Encompassed by a 905-acre semi-tropical rain forest on the Alabama
Gulf Coast, Bellingrath Gardens is one of the most popular destination gardens
in the US. The Museum Home was completed in 1935 for Walter and Bessie
Bellingrath, first bottlers of Coca-Cola in Mobile. The 15 room home was built
using handmade brick salvaged from the birthplace of Alva Vanderbilt in Mobile.
Lacy ironwork galleries came from a demolished waterfront hotel dating to
Mobile's early 19th century.
