About Cambridge University Botanic Garden

A 40 acre oasis just to the south of the City centre, the Cambridge University Botanic Garden is a haven of beautiful gardens & glasshouses, recommended by the RHS Garden Finder as an exceptionally attractive botanic garden and "essential visiting for any garden lover".
This heritage-listed Garden was the vision of Professor John Henslow, teacher and guiding light of Charles Darwin, and is today a treasure trove of over 8,000 plant species, including nine national collections and the finest arboretum in the East of England.
The Garden has been designed for both year-round interest and seasonal inspiration. The tree collection forms the structural backbone to the Garden and encloses the plantings to form a green retreat in the City and the magnificent, mature evergreen conifers of the Main Walk create an awe-inspiring avenue.
Seasonal highlights include the renowned Winter Garden, a masterclass in weaving together foliage, flower and fragrance that led the way in gardening for winter interest. The Rock Garden is laid out geographically continent-by-continent so you can explore alpine plants from all the world's rocky regions. Plants from rocky places tend to be the "direct marketers" of the plant world and when brought together into a planting such as the Rock Garde
