Enchanting flagstone walks wind their peaceful way through Bellingrath Gardens—a man-made rivulet trickles down a stairway of stone—the charming collection and amazing variety of the Camellia Japonica in this dream garden—these and many other scenes never fail to enchant the visitor.
A fountain, canopied by waving gray moss, presents one of the loveliest scenes in this “Charm Spot of the Deep South.” It seems to whisper, “Here We Rest.”
Age-old romance and history have been woven into this magnificent home of Mr. and the late Mrs. Walter D. Bellingrath. The exquisitely patterned iron lace that borders its rich-railed balconies and porticos once stood guard around the two-tiered porches of Mobile’s famous Old Southern Hotel, and are remindful of the influence of Old France and Spain upon the Gulf Coast colonies.
PAGEANTRY OF BEAUTY
The lovely rose also adds its charm to the beauty of Bellingrath Gardens. In a corner of their own they bloom profusely to delight the many visitors. This Rose Garden contains over a thousand bushes planted in beds laid out in design like a Rotary Wheel.
