On this page

Located on 9.5 hectares, looking out over the banks of the River Tay, the Botanic Garden houses a wide range of plant life. This plant collection consists of both indigenous British plants, and important plants from across the world.

As well as this you will find collections of trees, shrubs, tropical and temperate glasshouses, and our water and herb gardens.

We are committed towards science, conservation and education. These are principles that we want to share with our 80,000+ visitors each year.

The Botanic Garden also has a popular coffee shop, gift shop, and a plant nursery. We regularly host art exhibitions in our Visitor Centre. We also have facilities which can be hired for holding receptions and meetings.
