The University Of Oxford Botanic Garden

The University of Oxford Botanic Garden is the oldest in Great Britain. For over 370 years it has stood on the banks of the River Cherwell in the centre of Oxford. In that time it has evolved from a collection of medicinal herbs for seventeenth century physicians to the most compact diverse collection of plants in the world. In two hectares 8000 species, representing almost every botanical family, can be found. Visitors to the Garden can see tropical glasshouses, herbaceous borders, a bog garden and a rock garden.
