St Andrews Botanic Garden, Botanical garden in St Andrews, Scotland
The 18-acre garden contains more than 8000 species of native and exotic plants arranged across woodland areas, meadows, ponds, and specialized greenhouses.
Founded in 1889 by the University of St Andrews, the garden started at St Mary's College before moving to its current location in the 1960s.
The garden maintains an algal herbarium based on seaweed specimens collected by Margaret Gatty during the nineteenth century scientific exploration period.
The garden features Chinese and Chilean flora borders, specialized collections of Cotoneaster, Berberis, and Sorbus species arranged in distinct zones.
Dense barriers of pine trees and strategic placement of shrubs protect the garden's delicate plant species from Scotland's northern climate.
