Sheffield Botanical Gardens, 1836 botanical garden in Sheffield, England
The Sheffield Botanical Gardens span 19 acres and contain 5,000 plant species, with 18 distinct garden areas connected by winding paths.
Robert Marnock designed these gardens in 1836 after the Sheffield Botanical and Horticultural Society raised £7,500 through share sales to purchase the land.
The central glass pavilions, designed by Benjamin Broomhead Taylor, host civil ceremonies and provide space for educational programs and horticultural workshops.
The gardens offer free admission and feature multiple entrances on Clarkehouse Road, Botanical Road, and Thompson Road, with nearby bus stops for public transportation.
A Victorian-era bear pit between the Mediterranean and Himalayan gardens contains a steel statue named Robert the Bear representing an American Black Bear.
