Aldridge Botanical Gardens, Botanical garden in Hoover, Alabama, US.
The 30-acre woodland garden contains extensive hydrangea plantings, a five-acre lake, and walking trails through oak and pine forests.
Eddie Aldridge purchased the forested valley property in 1977 and later donated the estate to the City of Hoover, which opened it to the public in 2002.
The gardens host educational programs, art exhibitions, and nature activities for children, connecting the community with botanical knowledge and environmental appreciation.
The gardens open daily from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM in winter and 8:00 AM to 7:00 PM during daylight savings time, with free admission for all visitors.
The garden features the Snowflake hydrangea, a double-flowering variety discovered and patented by Eddie Aldridge and his father Loren, which now grows worldwide.
