Moorbank Botanical Gardens

Newcastle , United Kingdom

Moorbank Botanical Gardens in Newcastle, United Kingdom, began development in 1923 and expanded significantly in 1980 when it incorporated a substantial plant collection from Randle Cooke's garden in Corbridge, which he bequeathed to the university.

Situated on a three-hectare site on Claremont Road near Newcastle University, Moorbank became known for its extensive glasshouse complex built in 1985 that housed collections of tropical and desert plants. The gardens served both as a research facility and public engagement space, highlighting a diversity of plant species and contributing to academic studies in botany and horticulture until its closure in recent years.

Moorbank played a significant role in preserving rare and exotic plant species and provided valuable resources for scientific study and conservation in the region.
