<\/p>

When I traveled to Oxford <\/b>for the first time, I never thought it was to become a special place in my life. Living in the United Kingdom<\/a> for six months taught me how to relax, to explore nature with long walks, discovering that behind its historic buildings, the city hide its best kept secret: Oxford’s amazing nature.<\/p>

I didn’t need to live there to realize that Oxford <\/b>has a unique atmosphere. Whoever walks through the streets, can breathe, like I did, its story, its life.<\/p>

\nBut the fact that I lived there for many months, I did enjoy the freedom you feel when you discover new places every day, where nature lovers can feel at home.\n<\/p>

One of my favorite spots in the city is the Botanical Garden<\/b>. Not just a place to know the origin of many plants, not just a green corner where flowers go unnoticed. It’s much more.<\/p>

This hidden <\/span><\/span>wonder is located <\/span><\/span>in the heart of <\/span><\/span>Oxford<\/a><\/b>. I learned this garden is the oldest in the UK and one of the oldest scientific gardens in the world<\/span><\/span>.<\/span><\/p>

Administered by the famous University of<\/b> Oxford<\/b>, this arboretum was created for scientific purposes, to collect and conserve medicinal plants from all over the world.<\/span> Interesting, right?<\/p>

\nIf you want to travel to Oxford and has no enough money, check this quick alternative travel loans to make it easier.\n<\/p>

On the benches of the River Cherwell and under the shadow of the historic Christ Church, it’s a pleasure to spend a morning walking around the garden. Pure nature!<\/p>

Discovering brightly colored flowers, I sat and read a book on a bench or just relaxed with the sound of the fountains and immobile water lilies. Could I ask for more?<\/p>

It was definitely a unique feeling that I still remember like it was yesterday. The nature Harcourt Botanical Garden<\/a><\/b>, is the best kept secret in Oxford<\/b>. Would you come with me to find out?<\/span><\/span><\/p>
