The Cambridge University Botanic Garden is one of the world's top-rated botanical gardens, located between Trumpington and Hills Roads and Bateman Streets over a 40-acre plot of land. The garden, which is overseen by the university's Department of Plant Sciences, was originally created in 1831 and opened as a public attraction 15 years later. Today, it holds an extensive collection of more than 8,000 native and international plant species, cultivated as teaching tools for significant leading botanical research. Visitors can explore the garden's beautiful glasshouses, which are home to more than 3,000 species of plant life and showcase sections devoted to South African, Australian, North and South American, and Oceanic plant life that thrive across a variety of ecosystems and climates. Charming woodland, water, and rock gardens are showcased outside, along with seasonal gardens open during the autumn and winter months.
