Harris Gardens is my favourite place on campus! It’s so so so beautiful, especially during the spring season when the cherry blossom flowers bloom and make this particular section of the gardens pink and absolutely worth visiting! There is a part where there is just one bench and trees on all the sides which helps me in restoring my calm when I’m stressed. In one part of the gardens, there’s a brook which flows and the view there is absolutely gorgeous! It’s sad that not a lot of students are aware about this beautiful place on campus!
Even during the cold but sunny day in January it’s a wonderful feeling to walk through this beautiful corner at the Reading University and appreciate it. It’s well looked after, full of great variety of plants, trees and bushes. A relaxing walk and plenty of fresh air.
What a delightful place on our doorstep. A lovely wander through gardens that are well kept with many huge (old) trees. I will return to see it during different seasons. Thank you to the people who look after this little gem.
A beautiful and tranquil place to get away from the hustle and bustle. Many unique species split across 'biomes' or specificly designed, well maintained areas. Not to be missed in Spring or Autumn especially!
My favourite park in Reading, so peaceful and a great place to picnic or read a book! Love it in spring when the blossom is out. Can park on campus during weekends and evenings.
Very nice place for peaceful walks. Went there with family for a small walk and it iwaa refreshing. Not busy at all (I'm sure you know why looking at the date). Would recommend
