Saturday 7th July
Magdalen College Gardens, Oxford OX1 4AU
The 60 acres of gardens includes the Deer Park and College lawns. Of the numerous trees, some are over 200 years old. There are notable herbaceous and shrub plantings. The meadows are celebrated, and Addison’s Walk is a pretty tree-lined riverside path by the Cherwell.
We are not allowed to picnic in Magdalen’s grounds, but there is a riverside cafeteria where refreshments and light lunches are served.
University of Oxford Botanic Garden, Oxford, OX1 4AZ
The oldest Botanical Garden in Great Britain and one of the oldest scientific gardens in the world, it was founded in 1621 as a physic garden growing plants for medicinal research.
Plants from all over the world are grown in 7 glasshouses, water and rock gardens. 5000 different plants can be seen, many in a large herbaceous border and walled garden. The National Collection of hardy euphorbias is here, and a fruit and vegetable collection.
A Pop-Up café in the garden sells drinks and cakes. There is a café across the road and several more nearby.  We can come and go at any time, but please keep your ticket! Those of us who bring our own lunch may have it in the garden.
