That says more about London prices than anything.

Entrance to Sheffield Botanic Gardens appears to be free.

B'ham Botanic Gardens charges £22 for a family and £4.75 each for
concessions -
OAPs, children over 5, and students. Concession in a group are charged £4
each.

Dutch University Hortus Botanicus
Amsterdam charges £7/adult
Concessions £4
Leiden charges £5.50/adult
Concessions £2.40
Students 80p


Inverness Botanic Gardens, free entry and free parking.

Someone is paying. It cannot be free as it costs a lot to upkeep. Their site
does not mention funding so it's a mystery.
