University of Oxford Botanic Garden
/f/university-of-oxford-botanic-garden-842134983.jpg)
Founded in 1621, University of Oxford Botanic Garden is the oldest botanic garden in Great Britain and one of the oldest scientific gardens in the world. The garden contains over 8,000 different plant species and covers nearly 2 hectares (4.5 acres). It is one of the most diverse yet compact collections of plants in the world, comprised of three distinct sections. The garden’s greenhouses shelter plants from around the globe, many from much warmer climates, thriving inside an environment that protects them from the extremes of British weather. Walk through the famous walled garden to see the site’s oldest tree, an English yew. The garden hosts regular evening lectures, exhibits, family-friendly events, and special guided walks. Check online for a list of upcoming events.

The gardens were lovely, very peaceful to wander around at your own pace. There were beds laid out relating to illnesses which were very informative and areas for produce that had shaped food history.... more »

I love this place, so peaceful, very well laid out. Love the glasshouses. I got throughout the year and always see something new.

Not massive and we visited in the January so there wasn't much going on in the gardens. The green houses are nice with a good variety of different stuff and good labelling so you know what you are looking at. More of a summer place though I reckon

Lizzie Findley
While the garden is relatively small and there is not a lot of information available about the plants, it is a tranquil and relaxing place to walk round and relax

Beautiful garden, many species, lovely place to hang out and relax on the benches or on the lawn.
