Close to Birmingham city centre, this hidden tranquil setting also has four glasshouses taking the visitor from the hot steamy heat of the Tropical rainforest with its rich vegetation, through to the Sub-Tropical House with its stunning palms and tree ferns. The visitor moves through to the Mediterranean House, with its citrus plants and bright conservatory-type blooms - and finally to the stark contrast of the Arid House with desert climate and stunning cacti. « less

Also very good cafe, shop and very friendly people and very easy parking. If you like gardens and are in Birmingham or even if you don't but want somewhere to relax... More

If you love plants, you'll definitely enjoy this place. It is not too large but extremely well managed with lots of lovely planting schemes, exotc plants. Kiddies will love to run around. Make it a day-out by club the visit with a curry meal in one of Birmingham's curry-houses. More
