Did you know there is a natural paradise frozen in time right in the middle of Castle Bromwich? Step back in time to a 10 acre Baroque walled Garden maintained in the original style with plants of that period. A perfect place to visit for local and community history month

It's beautiful weather out there! Enjoy your evening strolls on the Parkland and elsewhere... but it's already wildfire season 🙁😓PLEASE PLEASE remember that carelessly discarded cigarettes can have devastating consequences for wildlife and green spaces. Be one with nature, *without* BBQs or fires!

Get moving people! We all know sitting for long periods of time is unhealthy. If you're nearby a park (or our Gardens!) why not take just 15 minutes for a stroll. A few moments in the green and nature- even in our busy city will do your body and spirit wonders. #onyourfeetbritain #heritagegarden
