In the past, we've featured some of the best gardens in Alabama. However, one garden we haven't featured is this special and beautiful secret garden in Alabama. It is located in central Alabama along the banks of a gorgeous lake. The Jim Scott Garden by Lake Martin in Alabama is truly unbelievable! If you've been searching for "gardens near me," this one is the perfect place to start!
Jim Scott's garden, which consists of waterfalls, streams, trails, and lots of hideaways, has taken nearly 20 years to create. It covers more than 15 acres and is one of the prettiest gardens to visit in Alabama.

One of the garden's main features is its trio of elevated wooden walkways. These walkways lead through the canopy of trees and offer incredible views of the garden and Lake Martin.

Jim Scott created his garden as a retreat for his family and friends. However, he occasionally opens it up to the public.
