Back in 1980, Linda visited Bellingrath Gardens as a teenager with her family, just months after Hurricane Frederic had changed the landscape. She had no idea that one day, she’d be working here, helping care for the same Gardens she loved as a visitor. We’re grateful to Linda for sharing these special photos from her first visit, and we’re lucky to have her on the team! (fb)

Bellingrath Gardens & Home is proud to be part of Southwest Alabama’s STEM Ecosystem in Region 7 — shaping the future of STEM education in our region and beyond! We're excited to share a new strategic partnership with Repton Junior High School in Conecuh County. As part of this collaboration: 🌼 Mr. Edward Pate, Master Gardener & Conecuh County-AL Extension, generously volunteered during one of our NatureNauts Field Trips + Pollinator Workshops, helping students explore the wonders of plants and pollinators! 📚 Mrs. Felicia Henderson, Bellingrath Gardens & Home STEM Education Manager, took our Cultivate: Growing STEM Educators professional development sessions directly to K–6 educators at Repton Jr. High, equipping them with tools and strategies to grow strong STEM classrooms. Together, we’re planting seeds of discovery and empowering students and teachers across Region 7! 🌱🔬 (fb)
