About

Sheffield Botanical Gardens is a green haven in the middle of the city with lots to see and enjoy. They are listed by English Heritage as a Grade II site and also contains a number of listed buildings including the beautiful glass pavilions. There are so many areas to explore from the Four Seasons garden that provides a changing display throughout the year, Birch Hill, a traditional Rose Garden and a Rock and Water Garden.

The Asia Garden has shrubs and trees from the Himalayas and Far East, Osborn's Field has new tender plants and the Evolution Garden shows how plants developed from primitive life forms. Look out for the fossilised stump of a 300 million year old tree! There is also a Woodland area and a Prairie Garden full of meadow plants.

And if you want some ideas for your own garden, take a look at the Marnock Garden, which is full of inspiration.

Good for: all ages, babies toddlers, older children, teenagers, young children
