Do you enjoy the tranquillity and peace you can find at the Birmingham Botanical Gardens? As the world gets busier and more industrial, escapes into nature become more and more vital. Being so close to the heart of Birmingham, BBG offers that escape and there is no better way to take advantage of it than with a membership.

Memberships are yearly subscriptions, which are a great way to keep supporting the Botanical Gardens and help us to take care of our living collection of plants and trees. They also offer a variety of benefits, and no matter what you seek from the gardens, be it a relaxing safe space or an exciting venue for unique events, your experience will be enhanced with a membership. Here’s a list of some the best reasons to become a member.

1. Keep coming back all year, with free gardens admission

The best part about a Garden is how it shifts with the seasons. Different plants and flowers each come into their owns, and a walk surrounded by hellebore and magnolia in Spring is a completely different experience from walking through those same grounds with colchiums blooming in Autumn. With our memberships you and a changing guest can experience the gardens with free admission an unlimited number of times each season.

2. Discover more with all kinds of exclusive discounts on our events

Did you know that our members get discounted or free access to many of the events here across the year? You can get free admission to events that transform the Gardens into fresh experiences such as Alice in Easterland or Jurassic Gardens, and discounts to workshops, exhibitions and theatre shows all happening at the Botanical Gardens.

3. Enjoy special discounts in our Gardens Shop

If events aren’t your thing, you can still take advantage of discounts with your membership. Members get 5% off on items bought instore. If you are greenfingered, pick up a number of seeds and potted plants to bring a bit of the Birmingham Botanical Gardens home with you. But its not only plants and gardening essentials that we sell, we have an incredible variety of gifts including soaps and fragrances, sweet treats and lots more!

4. Take your membership on the road with discounts to other UK Gardens

The benefits of your Membership aren’t limited to just Birmingham either. Experience a selection of different Gardens across the UK, with your BBG membership. You can get free and discounted entry to a number of iconic venues, including Kew, Westonbirt Arboretum & The Living Rainforest. Delve into a variety of different plant life whilst keeping a bit of Brum in your heart.

5. Support a good cause
