Oxford Botanic Garden is really lovely, even in the winter. I went in early December, and there was still a lot to do and see. A particular highlight is the collection of glass houses—where else can you take a world tour in your backyard? Plants from Ecuador, Peru, Australia and more all live inside these tropical capsules. One house even has a pond with lily pads. If you look close enough, you’ll see tiny koi fish swimming inside it. Then, of course, there’s all the explanatory signage and art. Kids (and adults) can learn quite a bit just by wandering through the grounds. The Cheshire Cat even lives on them! The gift shop is well stocked with lots of little odds and ends. I found a pack of embroidered coat buttons which was absolutely adorable. There’s also TOAD gin and recipe books, gardening supplies, and other gifts. I had delayed going to the Garden for a long time, as I live in Ox. I always shrugged it off as kind of touristy. But now I see what all the hype is about! You’ve got to give it a go.

We enjoyed these botanic gardens they are very peaceful, not as large as some we’ve seen but they’re very pleasant. They had a good explanation of the history of plant species. We found the medicinal plant section very interesting with many of the sources of the drugs I’ve had for cancer treatment on display. There was also a cute little robin who entertained us as we sat on a wooden bench. He seemed quite tame and sang his pretty song to us as we rested.

Not all exhibits open, because of Covid. Friendly staff, lots of shady seating, interesting information boards.

Definitely worth a visit. Was a quiet Thursday so almost felt like we had the place to ourselves. The team are managing the CV19 restrictions well with one way systems and there is plenty of space to move about. Interesting to see plants grouped into family types. Great way to spend a few hours.
