RBGE is a scientific centre for the study of
plants, their diversity and conservation, as
well as a popular tourist attraction.
In June 2012 I and my wife took our friend
to Edinburgh airport. By chance I
remembered about the botanic garden in
Edinburgh which I wanted to visit for
years. So we decided to go there.
The Botanic garden is a big park with the
links of Palm houses in the middle. The
Palm House is the name for big Green
House or Glass House.
Each Palm house represents an individual
climatic zone and is filled with a variety of
different plants. Every Palm House has its
own range of temperature and humidity.
The admission to the park is free but you
have to pay to enter the Palm Houses and
price for adult £4.50, child £1, family £9.
It can be a pleasant day out for the family
or for someone who is interested in flora
and fauna.
