Each tour is uniquely crafted by our specially trained volunteer guides, who bring their own perspectives and creativity to the experience.
Intimate, subversive and often beautiful, Gupta’s work has been instrumental in raising awareness around the fight for queer rights internationally, particularly in India and the UK, laying bare the tensions between tradition and modernity, and public and private spheres. Life with a Camera will feature more than 130 works, spanning street photography, portraits, and commissioned and personal projects, reflecting a life of migrations between Delhi, Montreal, New York and his longstanding home in London.
Come and make some beautiful artwork using different shaped leaves from the Garden.

Exactly 120 years ago, Hertha Ayrton was awarded the Royal Society’s prestigious Hughes Medal, the first and only woman in the entire twentieth century to receive this honour.
A close friend of Marie Curie, Ayrton was an electrical engineer, mathematician, physicist and inventor, as well as an active suffrage campaigner. While a student at Cambridge’s Girton College, she also founded the College’s own Fire Brigade.
The Struggle for Light is a powerful new immersive exhibition created by The Glasshouse Artists, a community of artists brought together by Annabel Lee in collaboration with the University Herbarium and the Cambridge University Botanic Garden Learning Team.
Inspired by the remarkable but little-known work of 19th-century artist, writer and scientist Mary Merrifield, the exhibition explores creativity, resilience and the challenges women have faced in pursuing artistic careers across generations.
