Aldridge is Home to a Multitude of Birds
Dr. Dan Holliman, now deceased, spent more than 18 months on daily walks at the Gardens as therapy from knee replacement surgery. During that period of time, the retired Birmingham Southern Biology Professor filled a notebook with data on the gardens' abundant bird life. His log of 89 different species was the basis of the birding program at the Gardens. He and Dr. Vasha Rosenblum, Children's Education Coordinator, placed bluebird houses around the Gardens and created "The Guide to Native Birds at Aldridge Gardens" so more people could watch the birds.
So, if you are interested in bird watching, pick up the guide the next time you visit the Gardens and enjoy our feathered friends.
