Sheffield Air quality garden

Welcome to Sheffield Air Quality Garden. We aim to raise awareness of air pollution by showing visitors the physical effects of poor air quality on our indicator plant species.

We also offer a range of hands-on learning activities for school groups from May to September.

Here you will find learning resources about air pollution, information about our project, our team, and how you can get involved.
