On Sunday, I visited the Oxford Botanical Gardens. They are the oldest in the UK and have been in operation for over 400 years. To acknowledge this, one area of the gardens has certain plants which would have commonly been growing in English gardens at that time in history. Of course, there are also other types of plants you can see from all around the world. I was especially attracted to all the cuddly, fuzzy plants on this visit. Really, I just walked around touching everything—because that's the point of a botanical garden, it's a tactile experience. I tried to pick a mulberry that wasn't quite ripe and got juice all over my hand.
