The Kaul Wildflower Garden is a seven-acre naturalistic rock garden showcasing native wildflowers which is located in a former sandstone quarry on the northern edge of the Birmingham Botanical Gardens in Lane Park.
The quarry was created by the Works Progress Administration in the 1930s for materials used in the park such as the Allan Gray Fish Hatcheries, as well as for construction of Vulcan Park. The abandoned site eventually became overgrown with severe erosion from numerous springs.
