Venue Description

St Andrews Botanic Garden is a living research and conservation experiment where we explore the ways ecology and evolution unfold in the plant kingdom - right at the heart of historic St Andrews. We're home to some of the most dynamic plants and habitats, from both Fife and around the world. We aim to address the new combination of challenges the natural world is facing with positivity, creating an ecologically vibrant place to explore and learn about evolution and botany. Our newest addition is the Tangled Bank, showcasing the very best of North East Fife plant life. Incorporating sand dunes, meadows, glades, meandering grass paths and a boardwalk, the Tangled Bank is a beautiful space to spend time. Our Visitor Centre offers hot & cold drinks, snacks and ice cream as well as our Gift Shop and Plant Sale.

Accessibility

St Andrews Botanic Garden is a safe, welcoming, and peaceful environment and we encourage you to get in touch with us if you require any information to support you planning your visit. Garden Access: We have a wheelchair accessible loop around the garden. Most of the surfaces are flat, with a combination of path surfaces including metalled paths and grass. There are plenty of benches and shelters located around the garden to stop off at and take a rest. Unfortunately, some areas of the garden, down to the pond, are steep and there are some steps around the Garden. There is a ramp into the Visitor Centre and Gift Shop and we have an accessible toilet located at the entrance to the garden, as part of our Visitor Centre. Wheelchair Hire: We have a wheelchair that is available to borrow, free of charge. If you would like to reserve it for the day of your visit, please get in touch. Assistance Dogs: Assistance dogs are welcome in the garden. Free Entry For Carers: Carers are welcome to visit the garden free of charge when accompanying those that they care for. Free carer tickets can be booked online for both Garden Admission and our events. Growing Together: Free, fully-funded days out for families with children with disabilities and additional support needs - enjoy time together as a family with accessible outdoor activities!
