DESCRIPTION:Another chance to visit the delightful Cambridge University Bo
 tanic Garden in midsummer.\n\nThe Botanic Garden was established as a Univ
 ersity teaching and research resource by Professor John Stevens Henslow\, 
 and was opened to the public in 1846. Henslow\, who inspired his pupil Cha
 rles Darwin with a love of natural science\, recognised the need to study 
 plants in their own right. He was convinced that trees were the most impor
 tant plants in the world and these form the framework of the Garden. With 
 a framework of mature trees and shrubs\, this paradise of plants comprises
  diverse\, superbly landscaped settings including: the Rock Garden\, repre
 senting the alpine plants from the mountains of every continent\; the Lake
  and Water Garden\, teeming with bird life\; tropical rainforest\, the alp
 ine house and seasonal displays in the Glasshouses\; and the historic Syst
 ematic Beds\, displaying 1600 hardy representatives of more than 80 famili
 es of flowering plants. \n\nCome and meet a descendant of Newton’s famou
 s apple tree - and your local RSC and SCI committees.\n\nThere may also be
  the chance to follow the new CCDC (Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre
 ) trail through the garden\, which highlights various important natural pr
 oducts next to their source plant.\n\n
