The Birmingham Botanical Gardens in Birmingham
, England
were designed in 1829
and opened in 1832
.
They were designed by J. C. Loudon
, a leading garden planner, horticultural journalist and publisher.
The layout is recognisably Loudon's and, as he proposed, there is a conservatory
at the top of the site.
There is a lawn on the slope in front of the conservatory and a range of beds and shrubberies round its perimeter. In 1839
, Loudon noted that 'the trees and shrubs have thriven in an extraordinary degree'. Overall, the character is that of a Victorian
public park - with a bandstand
set in 15 acre
s (6 hectares) of landscaped greenery.
The gardens offer a superb opportunity for recreation and relaxation close to the centre of Birmingham and are open every day of the year, from sunrise to sunset. They are lcoated at {{gbmapping|SP049854}}
