The Botanical Garden Re-Opens Sat 25th March

Liverpool’s The Botanical Garden returns for its 3rd season in 2017.

Liverpool’s only dedicated gin garden is ready to bloom for its third year, with the opening weekend taking place over Saturday 25th and Sunday 26th March.

Widely regarded as the hidden jewel amid the warehouses and creative industries the area now harbours, at the Baltic Triangle’s heart beats The Botanical Garden. It’s a little piece of escapism in the city, a sublime sanctuary tucked away down a narrow street in the shadow of the looming Anglican Cathedral in the background, which has cultivated a following not only across the city and region but for visitors seeking to find a different side to Liverpool’s resplendent cultural scene. It’s an idyllic home for a variety of flora and fauna which adds to the relaxed ambience and sense of being a world away from the hustle and bustle of the city centre, which is only a ten minute walk away but feels like much further.

There also is a street-food feast to be savoured at Ta’amiya. A homage to Morocco and the falafel, Ta’amiya is the first venture of Michael Carey, former head chef at Puschka, and they are delighted for The Botanical Garden to be its first home. Delicious offerings will include Murguez meatballs, Mayan wonder, the Marrakesh Express, the falafeldog, wraps and much more for both carnivores and vegetarians.

The Botanical Garden’s opening weekend is across Saturday 25th and Sunday 26th March, and then so long as the weather permits it, the venue will be open each and every day through the spring, summer and into the autumn from midday – 11pm, always with free entry. During the course of the season there will be some special surprises too, including musical showcases and occasional guest DJs. More will be revealed soon.
