Oxford Botanic Garden oxford

The best botanic garden I have visited. Good scientific information, well presented and at the right level. Lovely areas for just walking and admiring the plants. Even better if: some microscope displays explaining leaf structure, the differences between the major pollen types, etc.

Fantastic in summer with the wildflowers blooming. Can also enjoy the glass houses during winter - the cacti being a favourite of mine. Not the largest botanic gardens but a lovely escape in the centre of Oxford. Bonus fact - you can sit on the bench inspiring Lyra and Wills meeting place in His Dark Material!

A peaceful oasis a mere stone's throw from the centre of Oxford. The plants and accompanying information boards are fantastic and the greenhouses have to be seen. A great place to spend a sunny morning before lunch. History, botany and science to stimulate the mind and the senses.

Take an hour out of your day to see the gardens. Even though it is hot & humid, do see the water lily greenhouse, it is fascinating! The entire place is very peaceful & relaxing - they have the gardens laid out in a quite pragmatic and meaningful way.

We visited the place during the end of August and the garden was fantastic. We arrived in the morning, we were the first guest to come. I think it's worth to visit during the morning time as there isn't much people around. So many beautiful spot to take wonderful pictures. You Instagramers must come visit if you want to advertise to your followers that you've visited the Oxford. There is an admission fee of course, however, it's really worth to visit. Although the garden is bit smaller than what I've imagined, but still, amazing place!

I have visited Oxford Botanic Garden twice and enjoyed both visits very much. I particularly liked walking around the hothouses with the lily pond and the display of carnivorous plants. The outdoor area is extensive and beautiful, with plenty of inspiration for photography. Highly recommended.

Very well maintained with a fantastic variety of Species in a well designed layout. The only thing that concerned me was they had cleared the oxygenating plants out if the ponds with evidence of newts in the ponds. There would be eggs in the weed as it's still laying season. Late Autumn and early winter is the best time to do this maintenance.

On the heart of the city this small but packed botanical gardens is a peaceful recluse from the city. There a few glass houses and plenty of flower beds. We enjoyed the herb gardens. As with any gardens you need to choose your time of year when flowers bloom. They are plenty spaces to chill out. There is an outdoor coffee bar but I could not find a cafe.

Beautiful plants and flora. Fountains Glasshouses and displays. Well planned gardens. Can have a coffee in the cafe whist watching the punts glide by. Great picnic area. £5.45 admission fee

Just over the bridge as you enter the city. Interesting plants. Peaceful space for a short walk. At present the tropical plants under glass are closed due to covid. Inside when open is just like a mini jungle. The views by the water are pleasant. A good place for the classic photo of Oxford with punts and a bridge with an old college behind.
