The first garden of its kind, collecting plants from all over the world. It is a small garden in comparison to the royal parks, but it packs a lot of plants in. It is a charity, not a royal park and is less known so much more peaceful. There's a cafe within the grounds. It has a tour to follow, that explains the history of the garden and the plants.
