Birmingham Botanical Gardens and Glasshouses

The Growing Schools Garden was opened at Birmingham Botanical Gardens on 7th April by the garden designer Chris Beardshaw, Gisela Stuart MP, James Wheeler (Chief Executive at Birmingham Botanical Gardens) together with pupils from two local schools who were involved in the project - Colmore Infant and Colmore Junior Schools.

The garden is designed to inspire visiting local teachers and schools by showing how learning can take place outside the classroom, both within school grounds and further afield. The garden will inspire other young people and teachers to find their own ways to take learning outside the classroom walls.
