About the garden
Set just a few minutes from the heart of St Andrews, this innovative botanic garden features woodland walks, rock gardens, meadows and ponds, alongside living horticulture and conservation experiments. Plant conservation is at the heart of the garden’s mission and visitors can see radical steps being taken to develop habitats, manage resources efficiently and create new ways of researching the richness of plant life within a beautiful setting.
At the heart of the garden is the Tangled Bank, featuring meadows, woodlands, urban gardens and dramatic sand dunes. This feature highlights some of Fife’s most threatened habitats and creates opportunities for experimentation, helping inform conservation in Fife and beyond. St Andrew Botanic Garden is a place for communities of both plants and people, with a busy events calendar and active education and widening access programmes.
