Good evening. The Royal Botanical Gardens in Edinburgh is spectacular and is one of the largest city based gardens in the UK or Europe. To answer your question...there is only metered street parking available. My suggestion is that you leave your car parked at the hotel or city garage and then walk to the garden. Everything is close by walking and it is absolutely worth it to stroll through the town before you get to the gardens themselves. You will have a great afternoon. Enjoy!!!!

Yes, the gardens are open all year round, and just like other botanical gardens, it's worth visiting them periodically so you get the feel of the change in seasons during the year as shown in the planting. As it's approaching autumn, you may see some of the typical colours in the trees you get this time of year. There are plenty of seasonal flowers on show.
