Company description
Discover plants from all over the world in 40 acres of beautiful gardens and glasshouses, less than a mile south of the city centre. Founded in 1846 by Professor John Henslow, mentor to Charles Darwin, the heritage-listed Cambridge University Botanic Garden is a treasure trove of over 8,000 plant species, including nine national collections and a wonderful arboretum. Highlights include the Winter Garden, the Rock Garden, historic Systematic Beds, the Dry Garden and the new Cory Lawn landscape. The magnificent Glasshouse Range is home to diverse habitats ranging from arid lands of architectural cactus to flamboyant tropical rainforests. The Garden hosts a range of events, family activities, tours and lifelong learning courses. Young explorer backpacks are available to borrow from the ticket offices – perfect for all budding Darwins.
