The Botanic Garden on the Isle of Wight is a place where the pleasure of plants can be enjoyed to the fullest, it is also a place where people of all ages can learn more about the wonderful world of plants and the inextricable link that we have with them. As you will see from these pages there is much happening at Ventnor and there is a firm commitment to the furtherance of peoples' understanding of the plant kingdom.The Garden is owned by the Isle of Wight Council and is held in perpetuity as public open space. It is free of charge to enter the grounds and the Temperate Showhouse and only car parking is charged for.At the Garden we have a regard for environmental issues and we are particularly proud of our stance on Agenda 21. The local community is vital to the success of the Garden and there is much involvement with all walks of life.
