Our Cambridge florists are not only passionate about flowers. We also love being inspired by the beautiful gardens and pocket green spaces in our neighbourhood. As independent florists or artists, as we call ourselves, we would like to share our passion and showcase why we find such inspiration around us. With that, we would like to provide an overview of the best parks, flower gardens and green areas in Cambridge, hoping it might inspire you, too!
Cambridge is known for its university, rich history and green parks. It is one of the top 20 greenest cities in the UK, meaning there are options aplenty for beautiful places to visit.
Starting with the border of River Cam is Midsummer Common, a famous park in the city of Cambridge. It is known for its Strawberry Fair and large bonfire night celebrations, which draw plenty of locals throughout the year. Visitors can walk along the riverbanks and admire the grazing cattle in the summer.
In the heart of the city is 40 acres of parkland that offers a beautiful space of tranquillity. Cambridge University Botanic Gardens is a leading horticultural research centre founded in 1846. It is home to over 8000 plant species and features glasshouses, rock gardens and a lake. There are timeless trees all over, such as the enormous cherry blossom tree on the main lawn. It is the perfect place for some downtime as it offers something for everyone.
South of the city is Granchester, which offers beautiful scenery and a great place to hang out with friends. And if you are listing the best parks in Cambridge, then Milton Country Park should be on the top of your list. It is a must-see park in Cambridge for its hidden woodland with vibrant flowers and wildlife. The park offers much to explore to keep you entertained for hours. In addition, it has a sensory garden ideal for those looking for zen.
Another area of beautiful green space with daffodils and crocuses is The Backs. The area runs alongside the back of some riverside colleges on the River Cam. It is most beautiful in the spring.
As you can see, the sheer abundance of nature in the area is a dream for artists like ourselves. The green spaces here are just a glimpse of the inspiration driving our florists. We strive to showcase the beauty of nature through our creations. Visit our shop to see the bouquets we create to witness our talent and skills.
