Current openings at Shuttleworth Botanic Garden

Concept work on The Shuttleworth Botanic Garden (SBG) in the Isle of Man started in 2011. The early years allowed us to identify key elements and objectives that will enable the accomplishment of this ambitious, international botanical landscape project.

While still in its infancy, the garden is now entering an exciting period of development and has recently become a member of Botanic Gardens Conservation International. Our extensive landscapes will provide areas in which to:

• showcase and conserve plants from temperate biomes around the world;
•  study genetic diversity and the effects of climate change on plants; and
• provide fantastic educational and recreational opportunities for a wide range of people.

Several large landscape construction projects are underway; involving earth moving and the creation of large, natural rock and water features. At the same time, other significant landscape areas are being designed.
