Blossoming Kew Gardens & surrounds

by Jenniflower - last update: Jan 22, 2007

Kew Gardens ~ 16 April 2006
We have been to Kew Gardens a couple of times, at different times of the year. We have seen a lot and will go back and bring a picnic next time!

There are 300 acres to see after all!

The gardens are a mix of order and wildness it seems to me. They have formal landscaped sections, green houses and less cultivated areas.

There is much history, in the flora and fauna, as well as in the science of what goes on here at Kew Gardens.

They are world-reknown for various scientific breakthroughs. I will be writing more about these soon!
Please note: as Kew Gardens is in Greater London, some of its tips and information may relate to my London page too. If you have rated my London page already with a similar tip, please do not rate this one. Thanks!

 A lovely little page about a beautiful place. Shame it's no longer "In for a penny" ;)

 I used to live just outside the main gates of Kew - it cost 1p to go in, I used to walk through every day on my way home from the station. I love that place! leyle

 Thanks for the helpful tip re: the blue medallions. So...Queen Charlotte was fortunate to die in this place surrounded by flowers..not a bad way to go. BTW...my daughter shares your passion with paper.
