Winterbourne Botanic Garden
- Winterbourne Botanic Garden
Winterbourne Botanic Garden is the botanical garden of the University of Birmingham, located in Edgbaston, Birmingham. It is adjacent to Edgbaston Pool, a Site of Special Scientific Interest.
Set in six acres, it is notable as a rare surviving example of an early 20th century high status suburban "villa" garden, inspired by the Arts and Crafts movement of the Edwardian period. The house was built in 1903 and was private until 1944 when John MacDonald Nicholson bequeathed both house and garden to the University. The garden is now open to the public who pay a small entrance fee.
Notable features include an arboretum, a lean-to glasshouse, NCCPG collections of "Anthemis" and "Rosa" species, an orchid house, a collection of South African bulbs, geographic beds, a sunken garden, a Hazel ("Corylus") tunnel and many others.
