University Botanic Gardens Description
Opposite the entrance to Magdalen College is the Oxford University Botanic Garden, one of the oldest in England, founded in 1621. Plants of every conceivable kind, from all over the world, are to be seen here. The Magdalen Rose Garden was a gift from the Albert and Mary Lasker Foundation of New York (1953) to commemorate the development of penicillin, in which Oxford played a considerable part. The drug was first used in the Radcliffe Infirmary.
