The Oxford Botanic Garden

Tourist Attractions in City Centre, Oxford
Founded in 1621 by the Earl of Danby, The Oxford Botanic Garden was especially designed with the faculty of medicine in mind. The rose garden, designed by Sylvia Crowe, was planted to commemorate the discovery of the first antibiotic. In addition to the botanical family beds there is a range of glasshouses including a tropical lily house, palm house and arid house. Outside the original walled garden there are herbaceous borders, a newly restored bog garden and a rock garden. Admission fees apply during the summer months.
