4.5Dothan Area Botanical Gardens(89 reviews) - Will visit again... with bug spray! Saturday: 7:00 AM - 5:00 PM Gardens
My BFF and I visited this garden on our way through Dothan. WEAR BUG SPRAY!! Other than the bugs flying in your ears and eyes, the gardens were spacious and beautifully maintained. As someone with OCD, these were fantastic. Thank you for having everything clearly marked and labeled. What we really enjoyed and had no idea existed was the lock gates. Both of hurried to FaceTime our husband's to show this part of the garden. It's a fantastic idea. See more..
Small park with several different types of bamboo. It really felt like you were in China. Loads of turtles bathing on fallen logs in the middle of the pond the walkway circles. There are also minnows galore. You won't spend a lot of time there but you will certainly remember it.See more..
