Horticulturally significant collections.
The Botanic Garden holds the research and teaching collection of living plants for the University of Cambridge. This includes a number of significant horticultural collections, including a large tree collection and National Plant Collections.
Understanding Plant Labels
Plant labels are vital to the curation of the Garden’s collections. Not only are they a convenient way of providing information, they also link the particular plant to its record, stored on the Garden’s plant database (IrisBG) using a unique number called an accession number.
Wildlife
They encourage a great diversity of wildlife to the Garden as part of our sustainable approach to horticulture. This makes the Garden a green oasis in the City that’s great for spotting wildlife from dragonflies to sparrowhawks. They are recognised as a City Wildlife Site particularly for the invertebrates and mosses that occur here.
