As Aldridge Gardens celebrates its tenth year of operation, talented artists from all over the state of Alabama will exhibit their works of art at Aldridge Gardens the 10th Annual “Art in the Gardens” on Saturday and Sunday, June 2 and 3, 9am-5pm. More than 50 participants will compete for category and best of show awards in this juried open-air show that features only Alabama artists. Shop the works of painters; potters; woodworkers; photographers; jewelry makers; glass artists. . . 10 categories altogether. Many of last year's artists will be returning with more than a dozen new artists participating.

Nature’s canvas will also be filled with color during the art show as the Gardens’ large variety of hydrangeas will be in full bloom, including the Snowflake Hydrangea. To avoid parking congestion, the Hoover trolleys will run continuously from the nearby HH Gregg parking lot and a food vendor will be onsite.

Sponsors for all of this year’s events, including “Art in the Gardens” are AT&T, Brookwood Hospital, Protective Life and Blue Cross & Blue Shield.
