Listed under Botanical Gardens in Alabama, United States.
The Birmingham Botanical Gardens house over 25 thematic gardens and cover 67.5 acres.

A conservatory allows for year-round blooms, and an information center gives visitors the opportunity to educate themselves in botany.
Another popular attraction, the Moon Tree, began its life as a seed by being carried into space with the astronaut Stuart Roosa in Apollo 14 in order to study the effects of weightlessness on seed germination and growth.
