400 Years of Gardening & Botany

The Oxford Botanic Garden is the oldest in Britain. Since 1621 it has stood on the banks of the River Cherwell in the centre of Oxford. It has evolved from a collection of medicinal herbs for seventeenth century physicians into the most compact, diverse collection of plants in the world. In 4½ acres 4,500 species can be seen.
This talk details where the Garden came from and what it was up to for four centuries.
