Opened in 1995 as the Natural History Museum’s first living and working exhibition, the Wildlife Garden reveals a range of British lowland habitats, including deciduous woodland, chalk meadow, heathland, reedbed and ponds. Set in the museum grounds, the garden is also used by schools and scientists. It is a haven for over 2,000 British plant and animal species, demonstrating the potential for wildlife conservation in the inner city.
