   Wonderful place to visit, went with family last week. The garden is beautifully maintained with a lovely variety of flowers and greenery. The peaceful atmosphere makes it a perfect place to relax and enjoy nature. We especially loved the fish pond — it was so calming to watch the big fishes swimming around. A great spot for families and anyone who enjoys spending time outdoors. Highly recommended!

   I visited Leicester Botanic Gardens for about an hour with my kids. It’s a beautiful and peaceful place to walk around, though being Bank Holiday Monday the greenhouses were closed, which was a shame. There’s no café or information desk, so unlike other botanic gardens I’ve visited (like Birmingham’s), you don’t have anywhere on site to sit down for a drink or snack. I’d definitely recommend bringing a packed lunch or picnic as there aren’t any shops nearby. Overall though, it’s a lovely spot and worth a visit. Unfortunately I didn't take many photos.

   Visited the botanical gardens in spring and had a lovely experience. While there weren’t a huge number of flowers in bloom just yet, the gardens were beautifully laid out and thoughtfully maintained. The blossom trees and bluebells added a nice seasonal touch, and the pond with koi fish was a peaceful highlight. A tranquil spot to enjoy nature, even in the earlier part of the season.

   Visited during the 2nd weekend of march. The garden is not in full bloom yet but it’s starting to get pretty with spring flowers. A lot of benches in the park along the walkway to sit and enjoy the peace and quiet. Very beautiful pond there with a lot of big fish.

   We walked just over a mile to the gardens and spent a few hours enjoying the preparation for Spring Blooms. With Fall just beginning, the colors of many trees were gorgeous. We were not expecting Spring perfection but certaining imagined their glory. The trees, bushes and fall flowers were enough with majestic brick buildings and out structures in the background. With three weeks of rain, the grounds were saturated but beautiful nonetheless.

   Calm and beautiful place for walking in oadby village. Open till 5 pm during summer. This place offers both calming and educational experience for the visitors. Have several green houses and specific zones that consists distinct species. It's joyous to see numerous bees in their natural habitat after a long time.

   Worth a visit but not at its best in April, looks like it'll be a picture ina few more weeks. The greenhouses are only open Mon to Fri, do keep that in mind if you wanted to see the desert plants, Alpines etc.
