All of us found it tougher than we'd expected, but we're glad it's over - the first part, anyway. We're all going on a trip to Cambridge Botanical Gardens on Monday as a special treat. :)take your own food, or plenty cash! seriously, the winter border is stunning,The Botanic garden isn't at its best right now; a lot of ongoing development work means that not all of the greenhouses are open and the buildings which held the cafe and shop have been demolished to make way for a new educational centre which should be fantastic when it opens. That said, it's still a special place and has far too much interesting stuff to see in a single day's visit. The winter border is looking (and smelling) lovely right now. And if you thought the food & drink was expensive in the botanic garden, better not go into the touristy parts of Cambridge.......

Clare college is one of the few that has its gardens generally open to the public - the Fellows garden is probably the most beautiful of all of them, with lots of hidden parts. Better in summer or autumn, though.
