University of Dundee Botanic Garden

A Living Landscape of Learning and Beauty

Nestled on the banks of Scotland’s longest river, the University of Dundee Botanic Garden offers breath-taking views over the River Tay and a uniquely sheltered, south-facing setting that allows an extraordinary variety of plants to thrive. Spread across nine and a half acres, the Garden is one of East Central Scotland’s leading visitor attractions, showcasing a rich tapestry of conifers, broad-leaved trees, and vibrant shrubs, alongside tropical and temperate glasshouses that bring the world’s flora to life.

Founded with a mission to inspire curiosity and support lifelong learning, the Garden offers educational opportunities for all ages. We have extended our reach with online resources and developed a series of self-guided tours—both printed and virtual—so visitors can explore safely and at their own pace. Whether you're a nature lover, a student, or a family looking for an enriching day out, the University of Dundee Botanic Garden invites you to connect with nature, science, and sustainability in a living classroom like no other.
