Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh - Glasshouses

null Established in 1670, the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh has developed into one of the finest gardens in the world. Its 70 acres of beautifully landscaped grounds, just a stone's throw from the city centre, are home to one of the richest collections of living plants on Earth.

At the heart of the Garden is the iconic Victorian Temperate Palm House and adjacent Glasshouses, which offer visitors the opportunity to travel through time and across the globe while experiencing ten very different realms of the plant kingdom.

Other Garden highlights include the Chinese Hillside, world-famous Rock Garden, Queen Mother's Memorial Garden and Herbaceous Border which provides a stunning display of colour throughout the summer.

The award winning John Hope Gateway visitor centre boasts permanent and temporary exhibitions and a Real Life Science Studio, restaurant and shop.

Admission to the Garden is Free
