The Oxford Botanic Garden & Arboretum is the ancient botanical garden of the city of Oxford.

Opened in 1621 it covers an area of almost two hectares and inside there are more than 8,000 different botanical species.

Given its size, the botanical garden is divided between an internal garden, an external garden and greenhouses. In the internal garden there are pharmaceutical plants, variegated, hybrids, bearded irises and flowerbeds that line the walls (bearded iris).

The outdoor garden is instead divided between: rocky, wet, river and grassy garden. In this section are also cultivated a series of plants that were part of the garden in 1648. Finally, the greenhouse has its own conservatory where temporary exhibitions are also set up. Then there are the alpine greenhouse, the fern greenhouse, the water lily greenhouse, the orchid greenhouse, the palm greenhouse and the succulent plant one.

The Oxford Botanic Garden also houses the Arboretum which was designed and designed by architect William Sawrey Gilpin and was born to give the garden a triumphal entrance. It occupies about two kilometers of the entire surface and among the various trees there are also specimens of Japanese maples.
