In the walled garden at Winterbourne House

Three photos from the walled garden - part of a 65 acre botanical garden at Winterbourne House, University of Birmingham.

 

'The house and garden were bequeathed to the University of Birmingham in 1944 and Margaret’s Edwardian Walled Garden was quickly converted into a space for educating students. In the 1960s the Walled Garden was given another dramatic makeover when row upon row of natural order beds were replaced instead with hundreds of roses. The National Collection of the History of the Rose might have been more colourful but it was certainly no less educational.'
