The Birmingham Botanical Gardens

Well worth a visit even in late November as I did. The greenhouses offer year round flowers and lots of tropical species. The grounds this late in the year were still lush with lots to see and I imagine are a must-see in summer. The playground looked like a lot of fun and even on the cool grey day I visited had children at play. I particularly liked the rock garden. One note - previously posted photos showed peacocks and I was crushed to find out there are none. A small disappointment really. Nov 27, 25 J

I took out a Membership last year and I am so glad I did. Birmingham Botanical Gardens are a paradise in the centre of a busy city. A great place to go when you want a bit of time out to 'reset' and fully immerse yourself in nature. Seeing the surroundings change throughout the seasons is a shear joy.

The botanical garden tour was indeed a captivating experience, offering a glimpse into the beauty of diverse plant life. The carefully curated landscapes and vibrant flowers created a truly enchanting atmosphere. It was a pity that the allotted time did not allow for a more extensive exploration of all the garden's wonders. Perhaps another visit is in order to fully appreciate its splendor.

Hidden treasure!! My first time!! Has to be seen to believe!!The staff wore smiles, friendly & ready to help. The diversity of the plants, the japanese gardens, the water features, tidiness of the place, wonderful trees & pretty roses, incredible hidden corners of solitude & the wonderful cafe staff ‘amazing bakery’. Incredible value for money 10/10.

Came here with my partner. Pretty easy to book, can do so online. £3 per car parking - would advise not to go at a busy time as the car park will be full. Lovely day out full of various plants and trees. Most of the outdoor plants are British origin with others being housed indoors. Managed to get around in an hour and a half, seeing all of the plants we wanted to see. As per usual, snacks and drinks are a bit costly £1.50 for a can. Overall, would recommend
