Give the Gift of Friendship
This festive season, share the beauty of the Cambridge University Botanic Garden with someone special. Our limited-edition Gift Membership Packs are the perfect way to inspire, delight and connect loved ones with this wonderful botanical collection throughout the year.
On Sale from 20 November: Choose from Three Gift Packs
This year, we have three gift packs to choose from. Our Letterbox Gift has been specially designed for posting and can be sent for just £3 postage. The other two packs can also be posted, with postage charged at £6.50.
Gift packs can also be purchased from the Botanic Garden Shop. As these are a limited-edition offering, if you are planning a special trip to purchase a particular pack, please email me in advance and I will be happy to reserve one for you.
Thoughtfully presented in recyclable gift packaging, each pack makes gift-giving both effortless and meaningful.
