Reviews of Firs Botanical Grounds, University of Manchester
"Great selection of plants and the different biomes in the greenhouse were really interesting. All the people were very nice and friendly too."
"Well worth a visit as this site has so much potential for a research centre and generally a nice place to take time out from the madness and busyness that surrounds us. Could probably use a substantial donation to help realise their goals. The glass hothouse rooms house some very interesting tropical and local specimens from around the world. If you ask nicely, you will probably get a guided tour from one of the staff. Will be back later in the year! :-)"
