West Midlands Gardens

West Midlands Gardens is a joint initiative formed by Birmingham Botanical Gardens, Winterbourne House and Garden, Castle Bromwich Historic Gardens, and Martineau Gardens.

We are driven by a shared mission to celebrate the region’s diverse and varied gardens, attract more visitors, and support the wellbeing of our region through offering beautiful spaces for people to connect with nature.

 


 

Birmingham Botanical Gardens

Birmingham Botanical Gardens is a 15 acre grade II* listed landscape, with diverse micro-climates, offering a uniquely bio-diverse natural environment. It is one of the UK’s most significant historic botanic gardens which has remarkably remained intact since 1829.


Winterbourne House and Garden

Restored to its Edwardian Arts and Craft splendour, Winterbourne House is a unique heritage attraction set within seven acres of beautiful botanic gardens. Only minutes from Birmingham city centre, Winterbourne is home to beautiful antiques and over 6,000 plant species from around the world. Wander along the woodland walk, stroll through the hazelnut tunnel, cross the 1930’s Japanese Bridge or simply soak up the tranquillity of this perfectly English Edwardian home.


Castle Bromwich Historic Gardens

Situated conveniently on the edge of the city, the 10-acre grade II* listed walled garden transports you back to the Dutch and French influenced formal Gardens of the late 17th century. In England, this garden is a very rare survival example of that style. With formal walks, orchards, vegetable garden as well as mud kitchens and wildlife areas, it's a great place to visit with the family.


Martineau Gardens

Martineau Gardens is a beautiful community garden and charity, located two miles from Birmingham City Centre. An oasis for wildlife, a haven of tranquillity, or simply a destination for an outdoor escape, there are two and a half acres of organically managed landscape for you to explore.

I had arrived at Castle Bromwich Hall Gardens (CBHG) – I‘m only 5 miles from the city centre, (I can actually see parts of the city centre skyline from the garden’s highest point) but it seems more like a million miles away from the bustle of modern life; like being in a bubble of quietude. Except…
