Aldridge Gardens - Hydrangea Festival








The definition of the word hydrangea in Birmingham always includes the Aldridge Gardens in Hoover. The Gardens has an incredible variety of the most beautiful hydrangeas. From pinks to whites to blues; french hydrangeas, to Encores, to oakleafs. Definitely the hydrangea capital of Alabama!! We happened upon the Hydrangea Festival at the Gardens. Arts and crafts galore, all set in the most gorgeous sea of blooms. The Japanese Maple, with its lacey leafiness, made a fine companion to the blooming sea of pinks, blues, purples and whites. Some of the wildlife even participated in the activities with a number of geese begging treats from the visitors and the biggest chartreuse caterpillar I've ever seen!!

This is definitely on my 'DON'T MISS' list!!
