Ventnor Botanic Garden is a 22-acre sub-tropical garden on the Isle of Wight, warmed by the unique Ventnor Undercliff microclimate that makes it around 5°C warmer than the rest of the UK. Over 30,000 rare and exotic plants and trees grow outdoors in plantings grouped by global region.
Open daily all year round (closed Christmas Day), it's an easy family day out: 80%+ of paths are wheelchair-friendly, well-behaved dogs are welcome on leads, kids under 5 go free, and The Plantation Room Café serves vegan, veggie and gluten-free options.
