At Birmingham Botanical Gardens, we offer an educational visit like no other. You can explore our unique glasshouses and experience an authentic rainforest adventure! Then walk straight from experiencing hot and humid tropical conditions into a desert climate and observe the changes to plants due to the seasons. Then, wander down to the Alpine and Rock Gardens to marvel at the beautiful flora found on the Tundra.
How do bananas and pineapples grow? Why is white chocolate white, but milk chocolate brown? Why do cactus plants look so strange? How do your shoes link to the rainforest? What is a Tenrec? Find out the answer to these questions and many more, as your pupils explore our glasshouses and flourishing gardens. Allow us to share the knowledge and experience we have gained over nearly 200 years in one of our expertly-taught, cross-curricular teaching sessions that will be tailor-made to your age group and topic. Or opt for a self-guided visit where teachers can lead their own activities using our wide range of comprehensive educational resources.

We did need a little longer on site as the areas covered by the garden are large but the girls had a great time solving the clues that were at each post. Map skills were used to find each location.

We completed two activities organised by the botanical gardens, and one independent walk around. I would say that the Rainforest challenge activity was too tricky for a year 3 group. Also, one activity would have been enough. It felt like quite a lot to get through in one day! It would have bene nice to have some more relaxing time walking round the gardens and spotting interesting things.
