Oxford Botanic Garden has occupied its central Oxford site next to
the river Cherwell continuously since its foundation in 1621 and is
the UK's oldest botanic garden. The birthplace of botanical science
in the UK, it has been a leading centre for research since the
1600s. Today, the garden holds a collection of over 5,000 different
types of plant, some of which exist nowhere else and are of
international conservation importance. This guide explores Oxford
Botanic Garden's many historic and innovative features, from the
walled garden to the waterlily pool, the glasshouses, the rock
garden, the water garden and 'Lyra's bench'. It also gives a
detailed explanation of the medicinal and taxonomic beds and
special plant collections. Lavishly illustrated with photographs
taken throughout the seasons, this book not only provides a
fascinating historical overview but also offers a practical guide
to the Oxford Botanic Garden and its work today. Featuring a map of
the entire site and a historical timeline, it is guaranteed to
enhance any visit, and is also a beautiful souvenir to take home.
