Thrive Birmingham

The garden is a 2 acre site known historically as The Television Garden. Its rich heritage began in 1972 as a partnership between Birmingham City Council and television company ATV. Today, the gardens are used by Thrive, a national charity, who help to improve people's physical and mental health through gardening and horticulture.

About Thrive Birmingham

Some of the notable features of the garden include wheelchair accessible raised beds, beautiful herbaceous borders, the timeless mature garden and several thriving ponds which are home to smooth newts. We are also fortunate to have three designer gardens within the site, created by John Brookes, Bonita Bulaitis and Dan Pearson.
