Birmingham Botanical Gardens, Victorian botanical garden in Edgbaston, England.

The 15-acre garden presents four large glasshouses containing plants from tropical, subtropical, Mediterranean and desert environments across multiple levels.

Established in 1829 by the Birmingham Botanical and Horticultural Society, the gardens opened to members in 1832 following designs by J.C. Loudon.

The gardens maintain the British National Bonsai Collection, including a 250-year-old Chinese juniper known as the Omiya tree.

The garden provides educational programs through its Study Centre, offering curriculum-based sessions for schools and community groups throughout the year.

A £13 million restoration project initiated in 2023 focuses on preserving the Grade II listed Victorian glasshouses with National Lottery funding.
