DescriptionLily Pond, The Royal Botanic Garden, Edinburgh - geograph.org.uk - 1478241.jpg
English: Lily Pond, The Royal Botanic Garden, Edinburgh The Royal Botanic Garden has ten public glasshouses devoted to different plant species - this view was taken in the 'Plants & People House', which features luxuriant tropical rainforest vegetation - including bananas, rice, sugar and cocoa - surrounding a lily pond.
The Royal Botanic Garden is Edinburgh's hidden gem. Founded in 1670 as a small physic (medicinal) garden near to Holyrood House, it was moved to its present location during the 1820s and has since expanded to cover an area of 31 hectares (78 acres). Laid out with great skill and taste in many different styles, it's well worth a visit. Admission is free, although there's a modest charge for entry to the splendid glass houses.
