Cambridge University Botanic Garden has over 8,000 plant species from all over the world to facilitate teaching and research.

The Garden also provides a beautiful place for everybody to enjoy and benefit from – a series of wonderful landscapes through which to discover the drama of plant diversity. National Collections range from species tulips and fritillaries to unusual shrubs. The current Garden site was acquired to accommodate a wider range of trees, and many of the mature specimens date back to the establishment of the Garden in 1846.

As our visit is in September, we will certainly visit the Autumn Garden where plantings are selected to brighten misty autumn days. Here stunning foliage combines with late flowers, seedheads, fruits and feathery grasses to create a richly textured tapestry.

Our private tour will be tailor-made to the season and will reflect what is looking best at the time, as well as giving us a thorough grounding in the landscapes and plant collections of this heritage-listed Botanic Garden.
