The Huntsville Botanical Garden is a year-round, 118-acre nonprofit located in Huntsville, Alabama, featuring diverse ecosystems including meadows, upland and bottomland forests, and wetlands, along with specialty gardens and native plant collections. Its notable features include the Mathews Nature Trail, which hosts the largest accredited trillium collection in the United States, and the Anderson Education Center, which houses the Purdy Butterfly House. The Native Plants Teaching Garden is a public space that demonstrates how local plants, soil, pollinators, and birds interact to form distinct communities and contribute to a sustainable landscape. The garden operates as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit and is connected with professional networks such as the American Public Gardens Association, the North American Plant Collections Consortium, the American Horticultural Society, and ArbNet, as an Arboretum member. It serves a wide audience interested in nature, plant collections, and ecological education through its grounds and educational offerings. In 2025, the garden introduced sensory-friendly hours for its Galaxy of Lights event to improve accessibility.
