Birmingham Botanical Gardens
The Birmingham Botanical Gardens is thoroughly deserving of its first Sandford Award in recognition of the impressive quality of both the formal and informal learning experiences it offers to its visitors. Its imaginative and innovative approach to exploiting the educational potential of this nationally significant site is commendable and has resulted in the development of a multi-faceted and extraordinarily diverse programme of activities with wide-ranging appeal. The enthusiasm and expertise of its education team and their ability to bring the natural world to life using intelligently designed learning materials has been integral to this programme’s success.
