DESCRIPTION:Another chance to visit the delightful Cambridge University Bo
 tanic Garden\, but this time in early June. Last year we visited in April.
 \n \nThe Botanic Garden was established as a University teaching and resea
 rch resource by Professor John Stevens Henslow\, and was opened to the pub
 lic in 1846. Henslow\, who inspired his pupil Charles Darwin with a love o
 f natural science\, recognised the need to study plants in their own right
 . He was convinced that trees were the most important plants in the world 
 and these form the framework of the Garden. With a framework of mature tre
 es and shrubs\, this paradise of plants comprises diverse\, superbly lands
 caped settings including: the Rock Garden\, representing the alpine plants
  from the mountains of every continent\; the Lake and Water Garden\, teemi
 ng with bird life\; tropical rainforest\, the alpine house and seasonal di
 splays in the Glasshouses\; and the historic Systematic Beds\, displaying 
 1600 hardy representatives of more than 80 families of flowering plants. \
 n \nCome and meet a descendant of Newton’s famous apple tree - and your 
 local RSC and SCI committees.\n \nSee www.botanic.cam.ac.uk for general in
