The Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh began in 1670 as a physic garden; it is now home to a rich living collection of plants, making it a world-renowned center for horticulture and plant science. Dedicated to the study of plants and their conservation, the garden is split across four sites – Logan, Benmore, Dawyck, and Edinburgh – each of which specializes in a particular collection.

Some of the most notable collections in the garden include the Chinese Hillside, the Rock Garden, the Scottish Heath Garden, and the Rainforest Riches. Visitors of all ages will enjoy a relaxing day exploring the garden and its many exhibits.
