Sheffield Botanical Garden |
||
|
Sheffield Botanical Gardens were designed in 1834 by Robert Marnock, a leading horticulturalist and landscape designer. The Gardens were established by a group of local residents who were concerned about the lack of public open space in Sheffield. They formed the Sheffield Botanical and Horticultural Society and purchased the land with £7,500 raised through shares.
Because so much of the original design of the Gardens is preserved, and because of the concentration of historical listed buildings, the Gardens are listed by English Heritage as a Grade II site of special historic and architectural interest.
This 19-acre site is a green haven within the city and is undergoing a major restoration programme. Much of the original Victorian design is being reinstated, the plant collections are being rejuvenated and the gardens are being adapted for modern-day needs.
