It was an initial generous gift of 35 acres of land by the family who founded Boots the chemists that led to one of the largest (and widely recognised as one of the greenest) university campuses in the UK. University of Nottingham’s University Park campus, now some 300 acres, has consistently won a Green Flag Award for its green and environmentally friendly spaces. The landscaped setting consists of contemporary gardens, trees and shrubbery, various plant species from around the world, and water features that provide a focal point.
