Birmingham Botanical Gardens Part 1

June 10, 2019 /

A few weeks ago, the boys and I went to Birmingham for my Goddaughter’s high school graduation party. We had a couple hours of free time between church and the party and I remembered that the Birmingham Botanical Gardens were free. It had been a few years since my last visit and I figured that  it being spring would be a great time for a visit. I lived in Birmimgham for 6 years prior to getting married and used to visit occasionnally.

My outfit

Hat: Lanzom wide brim  straw Panama hat (Amazon)

Tee: Amazon essentials (Amazon)

Skirt : Goodwill thrifted

Wedge sandals (old, Payless)

Purse: Handmade Round Ata Rattan Bag (Amazon)

Stylish but comfortable

I was quite surprised that I was so comfortable wearing those wedges and walking. Even though it was a warm/hot day, I was perfectly comfortable. It does help that a nice part of the gardens are in the shade.

I was very impressed with my son’s pictures and you will see more of his pictures in part 2 of our visit which focuses on the flowers and plants in the gardens.

I keep my hat in the car  so I have it with me whenever I need it and really like the wide brim since it protects both my face and my neck.

 

One of the boys was exhausted and it was time to leave so we walked through the green house on our way out.

The boys were joking that you could earn 100 points if you sat on the cactus.

A bientôt!
