Cambridge University Botanic Gardens are among the best in the country without a doubt. Tucked between ordinary streets in the town's suburbs, this 40 acre oasis is open throughout the year. You can see just about every gardening style known to man here, including a rock garden, waterside planting, nine national plant collections and an impressive network of glasshouses. In October, the most impressive areas were around the lakes, where autumn colours were stealing the show.

There's so much more to see (including the glasshouses which I'll feature in my next post) that I recommend you check out the garden's website.
One of our favourite botanic gardens to visit, love the ground, small greenhouses, and hoping on the large boulders crossing one of their big ponds :)

ReplyDeleteWe have wetlands surrounding our property. Thank you for the inspirational photos of how I can design around these water features. I really need to take a garden tour vacation in your part of the world.
