University of Oxford Botanic Garden - Layout

Layout

The Garden comprises three sections:

• the Walled Garden, surrounded by the original seventeenth century stonework and home to the Garden's oldest tree, an English yew, Taxus baccata;
• the Glasshouses, which allow the cultivation of plants needing protection from the extremes of British weather; and
• the area outside the walled area between the Walled Garden and the River Cherwell.

A satellite site, the Harcourt Arboretum, is located six miles (10 km) south of Oxford.
