Where to Photograph Botanical Gardens

We are attempting to list all places where photographers can photograph Botanical Gardens throughout the UK. Not all Botanic Gardens are open to the public, so check out the website links before setting out on a trip to see them. This is the start of a list that will both grow over time and hopefully we will be able to add more columns or information.

Where the names in the first column is hyperlinked this links to a Location page with more information on this site and over time more of these will be added, we will be delighted if some of you would like to also produce location pages.

To make it easier to find a suitable place within a particular country of the UK we have provided the quick links below to jump you to the start of that countries listing. Over time if this list grows it may be that they will be put on seperate pages.
