The Gardens Café by Kathy G. renovates after 25 years

Diners of The Gardens Café by Kathy G. are in for a pleasant surprise next time they stop by the bistro-style lunch destination. After 25 years, the café has undergone a complete renovation and reopens this week.

The café’s original teal green walls and fabric chairs have given way to sleek concrete floors, fresh neutral paint, and garden-inspired fixtures and wall art.

Tamara Archer, manager of The Gardens Café, said the transformation is “amazing, it feels much more spacious and organic to its location.”

Located just inside the gates of the Birmingham Botanical Gardens, the restaurant features both indoor and outdoor seating. Those who enjoy the outdoors will love taking a seat out on the patio and taking in the gardens while enjoying items from the bistro-inspired menu.

The renovations come just in time for spring and summer wedding season at the Birmingham Botanical Gardens. Since the botanical gardens are a popular spot for weddings, the updated décor and delicious menu make The Gardens Café an easy choice for a reception location.

Beginning March 1, a Kathy G. signature light lunch menu will be served at The Gardens Café from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., Tuesday through Friday. On Saturdays, please call ahead for available lunch seatings, as The Gardens will close for private events. In addition to lunch, The Gardens Café also offers wedding receptions, showers, rehearsal dinners and private parties.
