Editor's Note
We’ve been fortunate to enjoy a true spring this year in Birmingham, but summer is fast approaching! The arrival of warmer temps also means the start of a new farmer’s market season, and hopefully for many locals, a great backyard home growing season as well. Check out our Organic & Sustainable Gardening page on Pinterest for lots of great tips and ideas for your own garden!
We’re also excited about Red Mountain Park’s newest outdoor adventure, the Hugh Kaul Beanstalk Forest! This treetop challenge course offers 20 unique rope course obstacles, where guests can enjoy traversing bridges, climbing walls, swinging on ropes, and zipping their way from tree house to tree house. The Hugh Kaul Beanstalk Forest is the first attraction of its kind in the state of Alabama.
We’d love to hear from you! Send us your feedback HERE, and let us know how we can make My Green Birmingham better! Don’t forget to check us out on Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest too!
