Cambridge University Botanic Gardens

The gardens were opened in 1846 and provide habitat for a wide variety of plant species. There are a number of different habitat zones, including a Rock Garden, featuring alpine plants from every continent, Water Garden, Tropical rainforest, and glasshouses with seasonal displays. The Systematic Beds feature over 80 varieties of flowering plants.

Of the many important collections at the gardens it is worth mentioning the lavendar, geraniums, and the collection of Native British Plants. There are collections of winter plants, Herbaceous and Wildflower Borders, a Scented Garden, even an Autumn Colour Garden.

The administration of the garden organizes an ongoing program of special and educational events throughout the year, and group booking is possible if arranged in advance.
