Looking back
The garden, a brain child of Professor John Stevens Henslow, was opened in the year 1831 specifically for the students and teachers of the University of Cambridge. The idea behind the formation of such a beautiful place was to offer perfect respite to the academicians as well as the students. But later on it was noted that people living in the surroundings used to throng there to spend some moments on the lap of nature and to spend the day in fun and frolic.
Trend now
The same trend is going on right at this present time too. People come here, roam here and there ‘under the blue firmament’ and may have read the ‘debonair’ lying on the green grass under the shady trees. From last report available from the garden authority about 200,000 visitors paid visit to the park in the year 2011.
Salient features
The garden contains various types of native plants of the British Isles, dry garden, genetics garden, glass houses to cater plant diversity of our beautiful planet, oceanic islands, mountains and tropical rainforests. Even if you like you may have the scope to join the public events that take place here round the year.
The garden is opened daily from 10 o’clock and the basic admission is £4,5 while kids 0-16 have free access.
