It’s easy to spend an entire day out exploring the Birmingham Botanical Gardens. Start with the 4 different glasshouses, walk through the historic gardens and snap a photo under the gazebo.

There’s still the bamboo maze, butterfly house, woodland walk and children’s playgrounds to explore. And let’s not forget the fern gardens, scarecrow garden or the Bonsai garden. And when you’ve spent the day exploring the Birmingham Botanical Gardens grab a souvenir at The Shop on your way out.
