Incredible Estates and Gardens

Winterbourne Botanical Garden is a rare surviving example of a suburban garden attached to a villa, dating back to the early 20th century. The Winterbourne House, around which the garden is located, was built in 1904 and remained a private property until 1944. It was at that time when John Macdonald Nicholson bequeathed the house and garden to the University of Birmingham.
On the territory there is also a souvenir shop, shops selling plants and used books, an exhibition gallery. Here you can find something to your taste.
