Beautiful gardens - and free if you are a UoB student! Or alumni or staff. Lovely annual sculpture trail, an events I look forward to! The glasshouses are particularly good when there's a bit of a nip in the air like today, showcasing some great cacti, bird of paradise flowers, and lotuses - sadly not out, but apparently coming in the next few weeks! Apparently everything changes did fast that's it's worth coming back every few weeks anyway because they'll be something new to see :
This is a hidden gem in a very pleasant residential area. A great place to spend a few hours. We have visited a few times, in particular for the outdoor sculpture exhibition. Fascinating collection of botanical specimens and just a lovely place to spend time. Very relaxed, and you can have coffee or tea on a terrace overlooking an ornamental pool. Very civilised
This lovely garden was a bit smaller than I anticipated but still a joy to walk around. Everything labelled, gorgeous Magnolias and spring meadow at the time of my visit but I imagine there is something lovely in each season. Tropical glasshouses are very interesting, full of unusual and intriguing specimens but sadly no giant lily pads as seen on all the promo shots, perhaps it just wasn't the right time of year.
Free entry for students! Good selection of plants both outside and in glasshouse. A nice afternoon out, particularly enjoyable in the sunny weather.
Really lovely place to visit. Quiet, peaceful but with fascinating tales of botany to educate too. There's a really nice cafe as a bonus.
One of Bristol's hidden gems .... If you can get past the ticket booking process which is needlessly complicated! A lovely way to spend a few hours, kept adults and children engaged and includes lots of interesting plants. One of the highlights was the exceptionally charming and chatty man running the cafe which provided perfectly acceptable coffee and yummy cakes.
A joy as always to wander through the Bot Garden! The subdued light this morning made the colours even richer.
A real hidden gem! I love the wide selection of plants there from tree ferns to acers, from giant lily pads to pitcher plants. The staff are so friendly and the person in the cafe yesterday was so friendly! If you love gardens and nature then this is really worth a visit. The glass houses are closed at the moment but there is still lots to see.
Interesting and varied gardens, which my children aged 5, 8, 10 enjoyed exploring for a couple of hours, especially hot houses. Lots of informative signage. Children can enter for free, so only had to pay for myself £9ish. Plenty of benches to sit on for lunch. Small carpark free - adequate for October half term. Clean toilets. Café pleasant but expensive - hot chocolate £3.99, cakes a similar price.
Fantastic collection of plants and trees from all over the globe compacted in to a walk that takes less than an hour! Still looking good in October even after a lack of attention due to the pandemic. Unfortunately the cafe and glass houses aren't open yet but still plenty to see in a colourful displaying particularly outside of the Holmes' house. Perfect for students who get in for free! whether you're studying botany or photography!
