DESCRIPTION:Another chance to visit the delightful Cambridge University Bo
 tanic Garden\, but this time slightly later in the season. Last year we vi
 sited in June.\n\nThe Botanic Garden was established as a University teach
 ing and research resource by Professor John Stevens Henslow\, and was open
 ed to the public in 1846. Henslow\, who inspired his pupil Charles Darwin 
 with a love of natural science\, recognised the need to study plants in th
 eir own right. He was convinced that trees were the most important plants 
 in the world and these form the framework of the Garden. With a framework 
 of mature trees and shrubs\, this paradise of plants comprises diverse\, s
 uperbly landscaped settings including: the Rock Garden\, representing the 
 alpine plants from the mountains of every continent\; the Lake and Water G
 arden\, teeming with bird life\; tropical rainforest\, the alpine house an
 d seasonal displays in the Glasshouses\; and the historic Systematic Beds\
 , displaying 1600 hardy representatives of more than 80 families of flower
 ing plants.\n\nCome and meet a descendant of Newton’s famous apple tree 
 – and your local RSC and SCI committees.\n\nSee www.botanic.cam.ac.uk fo
 r general information\, directions and map.\n\nUPDATE – PARKING ADVICE \
 nParking on adjacent streets is free after 6.30pm (not 5pm as previously).
