If you stay in Gulf Shores, Alabama you can take your car on the short ferry across the bay - a unique and pleasant way to get to the Gardens. By the way, the Gardens are awesome on a night around Christmas - nice decorations.

It was closed a couple of years due to Katrina (or maybe Ivan) damage, a while back. I never heard anything about a fire.

I have not heard anything about a fire at Bellingrath Gardens. Can't swear it didn't happen, but it would be a big surprise to me.

If there was one, the effects had been either repaired or replanted quickly. I'm sure their army of housekeepers and groundskeepers could erase a lot of damage fast!

There was some minor hurricane damage in 2004 but nothing since then. I didn't find anything on their FB page or a Google search about a fire, either.


Thanks I had also looked on their website. But sometimes they leave out things that are not positive!:D

So I like to talk to someone who has been recently. Thanks for your info I am sure your friends would have mentioned it.
