Scheme has been designed in collaboration with Donald Insall Associates and seeks to strip away previous additions to reveal original heritage structures

Plans have been submitted by Birmingham-based Howells for the transformation and restoration of Birmingham Botanical Gardens. The Grade-II* listed site houses a collection of over 10,000 botanic species, the largest in the Midlands.

The Growing our Green Heritage project is supported by a Stage 1 grant from the National Lottery Heritage Fund. The proposed project has been designed to deliver a low-carbon, sympathetic reinterpretation of the gardens and its structures, with the intention of securing their long-term sustainability.
