 Garden in early summer.\n\nThe Botanic Garden was established as a Univers

 Darwin with a love of natural science\, recognised the need to study plant

 plants in the world and these form the framework of the Garden. With a fra

 ng the alpine plants from the mountains of every continent\; the Lake and 
 Water Garden\, teeming with bird life\; tropical rainforest\, the alpine h
 ouse and seasonal displays in the Glasshouses\; and the historic Systemati
 c Beds\, displaying 1600 hardy representatives of more than 80 families of
  flowering plants. See www.botanic.cam.ac.uk for general information\, dir
