With over 22 acres of beautiful gardens to discover, come to
Ventnor Botanic Garden whilst visiting the Isle of Wight.
Welcome to Ventnor Botanic Garden…
The Plantation Room Cafe
With easy access from the Coach drop off point, The Plantation Room Cafe serves steaming hot tea and coffee and delightful homemade cakes and light lunches throughout the year.
Overlooking the beautifully serene and historic Palm Garden, The Plantation Room Cafe Terrace is the perfect place to sit out and enjoy the tranquillity of the sub-tropical Garden whilst making the most of the Winter sun.
Britain’s hottest Garden
With a climate akin to that of sub-tropical and Mediterranean regions of the world, many rare and interesting plants thrive at Ventnor Botanic Garden growing outdoors, unprotected from the elements.
The Garden is made up of geographical regions of the world so visitors travel from the Mediterranean into New Zealand, Australia and South Africa in an afternoon.
Once the site of The Royal National Hospital for Diseases of the Chest, Ventnor Botanic Garden is steep in history and has a naturally restorative quality. So, whether green fingered or not, Ventnor Botanic Garden is the perfect place to visit for all to enjoy the beautiful surroundings and make the most of the peace and tranquility.
A Garden for all weathers…
Come rain or shine, Ventnor Botanic Garden is a great place to visit. When the sun is shining visitors can walk the Gardens at their leisure and enjoy the colourful flowers in bloom. Visitors can sit out and soak up the sun whilst enjoying lunch, a refreshing drink or even an ice cream.
If cold and wet, visitors can spend time looking at the regular displays and art exhibitions taking place in The Garden Gallery. They can warm up in either the Plantation Room Cafe or the Restaurant Edulis, with a hot cup of tea of coffee or they can step into The Tropical House.
The hot and humid greenhouse of the Tropical House is a living representation of nature’s fight back against the ravages of man and industry. Complete with waterfall and giant pond that grows Giant Waterlilies in the summer months, our Tropical House will transport visitors to a rainforest paradise on even the coldest of days.
