Historical botanical garden dating from 1887 featuring choice trees and shrubs, herbaceous border and annual beds, scented walk and shrub roses, and set within the Royal Victoria Park which also contains the nursery glasshouses.

Less than a mile from Bath City Centre in the north west corner of thepark, the gardens boast many choice trees, shrubs, a fine herbaceous border, a rock garden and pool, a scented walk, a collection of old shrub roses, and a replica of a Roman Temple (the City's exhibit at the British Empire Exhibition held at Wembley in 1924). These are just a few of the many attractive and interesting features of the garden. 

To mark the centenary in 1987 the gardens were extended to include the Great Dell, a disused quarry and formally part of the park itself, which already contained a very fine collection of conifers. It has been developed into a woodland garden, and contains ever more plants and features to add to this fascinating and beautiful park.

We already have three horticultural apprentices with a robust training programme in place which has been nationally recognised by CABE space.
