2021-present

Extensive replanting of the display beds near the Thompson Road entrance was carried out by the Gardens’ staff in early 2021.

In 2021 Sheffield Botanical Gardens Trust funds were used to create four large environmentally friendly composting bays next to the greenhouses by the Dorothy Fox Education Centre.

Refurbishment and painting of all the gates and railings around the site was also completed in early 2021.

The National Heritage Lottery Fund and the Sheffield Botanical Gardens Trust (SBGT) funded a project officer for two years to prepare a larger bid to expand the educational capacity and role of the Gardens. The bid was successful and an education officer has been appointed for two years to implement the next phase.

Plans to utilise the Gardens and the Dorothy Fox Education Centre for horticultural education for the public across a wide range of ages are well advanced.
