Cambridge University Botanic Garden is a unique 40-acre site
housing a living collection of plants for research and teaching use
by the University of Cambridge. Laid out in 1846 to demonstrate
relationships between major plant groups, the Garden today is home
to 8,000 species from all around the world, including 2,000 trees
which provide year-round interest. In this guide the Director,
Professor Beverley Glover, introduces the reader to some of the
highlights in the Botanic Garden's collection. These include
majestic trees and beautiful flowers, but also some rare and
vulnerable species that might otherwise escape notice. She sets the
scene for the Garden's foundation and history through its original
map, and showcases some of its modern landscapes and horticultural
set pieces. Throughout the guide she emphasises the enormous role
that the Botanic Garden plays in modern scientific research, and
explains some of the key breakthroughs of recent years.
