University of Leicester Botanic Garden, Botanical garden in Oadby, United Kingdom.
The University of Leicester Botanic Garden contains 16 acres of gardens with formal Edwardian layouts, woodland areas, and specialized greenhouses with diverse plant collections.
The garden was established in 1921 through support from the Leicester Literary and Philosophical Society and relocated to its current location in Oadby in 1947.
The garden features twelve permanent outdoor sculptures integrated within the landscape, creating connections between art and nature throughout the walking paths.
Visitors can access the gardens daily from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM in winter and 5:00 PM in summer, with greenhouse visits available on weekdays until 3:00 PM.
The garden grounds merge four early 1900s houses - Beaumont, Southmeade, The Knoll, and Hastings - into one connected botanical space.
