Dog Days at the Garden

By Gary Henderson

Do your furry pups jump on your lap begging for a walk? Maybe a walk that you have been on hundreds of times, passing the same hydrant that has been smelled another hundred times? Well grab the leashes, collars & supplies and hop in the car because it is time for Dog Days at the Garden.

Dog at the Garden


From January 2  – February 28, 2023 during garden hours weather permitting, you and your fluffy K9 companion can take a stroll through Huntsville’s beautiful botanical garden located at 4747 Bob Wallace Ave SW Huntsville, Al 35806.

Reminder, you should plan to bring a water bottle & bowl for your pups, I would highly discourage drinking the pond water. I tried that once and got really strange looks…(JK). In addition to water please be a good steward and ensure doggie bags are in hand to keep the Garden clean from waste.
