Ventnor Botanic Garden is a 22 acre, very lively botanic garden right by the sea. A remarkable collection of plants from all over the world, mainly from the southern hemisphere, many tender but thriving here given enough shelter. Naturalised giant echiums and a Palm Garden with yuccas, phormiums and cordylines. The New Zealand glade, just as grey-green as you might expect, holds the largest collection of native plants grown in the UK. Good jungley glasshouse and lots of vivid summer colour.

Ventnor Botanic Garden is part of the following Editors' Picks:

10 'Must Do's' on the Isle of Wight by Greg Cook

"This amazing botanical haven is located in The Undercliff, a tumbling landscape of the southern skirt of the island, which has provided a naturally occurring yet unusually warm microclimate in which tropical and sub-tropical species of plants flourish like few other locations within the British Isles. Here in the botanic gardens, Mediterranean and tropical plant species that often struggle to grow in UK glasshouses, thrive spectacularly in open air. Meanwhile an informative visitor’s centre, a garden café and a shop selling local produce, much harvested from the gardens themselves, help create the perfect attraction for all lovers of nature."
