Demolition of the old golf course buildings starts Monday, July 7. They are being removed due to asbestos and safety concerns. The back gate on Pelham Heights Road will be open during our regular operating hours (8 am – sunset) during demolition. The anticipated completion date of the project is July 25. Please contact Monica Watkins, Arboretum Director at (205) 553-3278 or ua.arboretum@ua.edu with any concerns.
It’s been an active summer of sculpture in the Arboretum’s Children’s Garden!
Claire Lewis Evans, a graduate student in Art at The University of Alabama, donated the metal sculpture pictured here.
Its presence adds a wonderful sense of movement and playfulness to the space.
