What visitors say
Beyond amazing. I first went here with my ex and their family when I first moved to university, it was the first place we visited. It gave me a great first impression of the creativity Dundee has and it's articulate care for nature and it's people especially. I think this is a great choice of a day out with family, or even just with yourself. I went back here 2 weeks ago to make my own memories of the place and I bumped into a wild deer! Oh my days, it was a lovely sighting and I made it my goal to visit all the spots. I will truly miss Botanic Gardens if this place closes down like it is supposed to. Cherish every moment and get here quick, please!

Lovely botanical gardens I've visited twice now a real Hidden gem in Dundee! I know the place is funded from the university and has a lot of volunteers and they all do an amazing job. I think the marketing could be better, anytime I post online about this place or talk to anybody about it, nobody seems to know it even exists. Someone needs to pay some tiktok influencer to get all the students interested and get this place the attention it deserves

Arrived early afternoon on a coldish Sunday 23rd Nov. Decided to walk the garden before going to the greenhouse. We loved the gardens so much that we never had time to go in the greenhouse:-( next time in Dundee we will be back. My partner and I are fungi enthusiasts and this garden did not disappoint!! The network under the visible earth must be abundant with mycelium:-)
