Birmingham Botanical Gardens spans 15 acres, designed by J.C. Loudon in 1829, including glasshouses, pleasure lawns and gardens. The landscape features diverse plantings made possible by the unique topography and microclimates of the Garden. Today, it holds the largest collection of plants in the Midlands, with over 10,000 different species.
Our mission is to make this extensive collection accessible and searchable, serving as a valuable resource for scientific research, botanical studies, conservation efforts, educational programs, community outreach, and enhancing public engagement and visitor experience. While not all our plants are listed yet, we are diligently cataloguing our collection and continuously updating the catalogue with new additions.
