Ian Turner, Service Manager, Parks and Public Realm, Curator, Sheffield Botanical Gardens
Ian has 30 years of experience working in both the private and public sector. He came to Sheffield in 2008 following 11 years as Curator of Plants for Paignton Zoo. Sheffield Botanical Gardens underwent a complete HLF funded restoration which was completed in 2005. The gardens have continued to develop, with the Dorothy Fox Education Centre being the latest addition in 2017. The gardens form part of the Parks and Countryside portfolio of green spaces across the city. Since 2015, in addition to his curatorial role for the gardens, Ian also has responsibility for managing parks, open spaces and grounds maintenance operations across the city.
