Crosby Arboretum & Birmingham Botanical Gardens

I spent around a week in my hometown of Picayune, MS visiting family and friends over the holidays. On my last day I visited the Crosby Arboretum, and on my way back to Columbia I stopped and visited the Birmingham (AL) Botanical Gardens. Crosby was a modest $4, and Birmingham was free! Neither was very colorful this time of year, but they were very nice nonetheless. Crosby was especially peaceful, as I pretty much had the place to myself. Birmingham has a lot of potential, and I bet it's amazing during the spring and summer; I'll definitely have to visit it during that time frame.
