Geocache Description:


sheffield_botanical_gardens

The Gardens are in Sheffield and have 5,000 species of plants in 19 acres of land. The gardens were designed by Robert Marnock and first opened in 1836. The most notable feature of the gardens are the Grade II listed glass pavilions, restored and re-opened in 2003.

The land was bought from local snuff manufacturer Joseph Wilson. 12,000 people visited the Gardens on their opening in the summer of 1836.

The Gardens hold the national collection of the genus Sarcococca, Weigela and the closely related Diervilla.

The garden are divided into a series of themed areas. These range from the formal Victorian Garden to the informal woodland area.

It is an oasis just one mile from the city centre.

Entrance to the Gardens is free.
