Gardens and Grounds

About us

Gardens and Grounds are responsible for the development and maintenance of gardens, grounds and cultural open spaces that make up the University of Bristol’s impressive landscape. ‌  ‌

Our in-house teams of professionally qualified horticultural and grounds staff maintain an exciting and diverse range of plants, garden features and habitats covering the City Campus, North Village (formerly Stoke Bishop Campus, West Village (formerly Clifton Halls) and the School of Veterinary Sciences at Langford House, North Somerset.

They aim to provide a safe, relaxing and stimulating environment in which to live, study and work, through the provision of quality amenity spaces.

The University estate has a diverse range of ecologically important habitats and ecosystems. Gardens and Grounds have a responsibility to manage these, so they continue to sustain a wide range of flora and fauna, including notable UK Biodiversity Action Plan (BAP) and Avon BAP species.
