SHEFFIELD BOTANICAL GARDENS - University of Sheffield

A2.5. LANDSCAPE CHARACTER ASSESSMENT
The key features of the Gardens are surrounded by winding paths and
informal plantings that create distinct character zones. The ethos of the
regeneration project was the restoration of the key features and the
reinstatement of the main open spaces, views and vistas from the late
19th century layout. The Restoration Management Plan process resulted
in 18 distinct character areas being developed. Each of these is unique,
and is based on a geographical or botanical theme. The character of
these areas will be maintained and enhanced, by predominant use of
plants that are appropriate to each theme that also are not in use in other
areas.
