    The Birmingham Botanical Gardens are a 15-acre (6-hectare) botanical garden situated in Edgbaston, Birmingham, England. The gardens are located 1+1⁄2 miles (2.4 km) south-west of Birmingham city centre. Designed in 1829, the gardens are Grade II* listed in Historic Englands's Register of Parks and Gardens, and retain many original features and layout, which was designed by the landscape gardener and horticulturalist John Claudius Loudon. The site is notable for its range of glasshouses and gardens, which display a wide variety of plants and birds. Birmingham Botanical Gardens is managed by Birmingham Botanical and Horticultural Society, a registered charity. The gardens are open daily to the public with paid admission.
    Overall, the character of Birmingham Botanical Gardens is that of a Victorian public park set in 15 acres (6.1 ha) of landscaped greenery.
    The gardens feature four glasshouses, which are tropical, subtropical, Mediterranean and arid glasshouses. There is also an Alpine House and Butterfly House. Running along the south range of glasshouses is the terrace, also known as the Loudon Terrace, which provides views of the Main Lawn, with its range of beds and shrubberies around the perimeter. The Aviary is located on the south-east side of the lawn, which comprises four domed iron flight cages. A sunken Rose Garden can be located on the north side of the Aviary. A 19th Century Grade II listed, octagonal iron bandstand, designed by F.B. Osborn, is situated on the west side of the lawn. At the north-west corner of the lawn stands an octagonal, pierced-work, cast-iron gazebo, which dates to c. 1850 and was moved to the gardens in the mid 1990s. A Coade stone fountain lies west of the bandstand, which was presented in 1850 and was designed by the Birmingham architect, Charles Edge.
    From the west side of the Main Lawn, a network of paths wind north and south, giving access to the other main features around the gardens. To the north east lie the Pinetum, Winter Gardens, the West Lawn and the Herbaceous Border. To the south-east is a rock garden and pool, dating to 1895, Rhododendron Walk and the Ernest 'China' Wilson Border. At the southernmost section of the gardens are the Azalea Walk, Fern Walk and Woodland Glade laid out 1862. On the west side of the path looping around the Rhododendron Walk is a Conservation Garden created in 1991. South of this, in the southern corner of the gardens, is the Nursery. At the north-west corner of the gardens, is the Curator's Lodge, built in the 1960s. In 1999, this was extended to become a study centre. South of this, against the east boundary of the gardens, is a series of three period gardens (Roman, Medieval and Tudor), which were created in 1994. Next to the Roman Garden to the south is a waterfowl pool and further south lies a children's playground. A museum is housed in the red-brick, Grade II listed Teulon Cottage, which was designed by S.S. Teulon. Near the west boundary is a rock garden, which was constructed in 1895 in memory of Sir Hugh Nettlefold, an important benefactor.
    Birmingham Botanical Gardens features a gift shop, plant sales centre, tea room, meeting and conference facilities, and five event suites, including the Loudon, Garden and Terrace Suites.
    There are two playground areas for children, a traditional playground with swings and slide and a children's discovery garden where children can learn about plants through interactive play.
