Kew Gardens bursting with colour throughout the year, they
are celebrating Kew's pivotal role as a world-leader in plant science and
conservation. Visitors will get a glimpse into the important role
botanic gardens play in the future of the planet. Exotic orchids,
wildflowers from across the world and outstanding garden designs are on
display.
The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew takes the date of its official 'birth'
from the year that William Aiton was appointed to care for and expand the
gardens at Kew for Princess Augusta. That was 1759 and the Gardens have
expanded and developed beyond all recognition since then.
At Kew you will find the most compelling tree-top experience in the UK,
Kew's Rhizotron and Xstrata Treetop Walkway takes you under the ground
and then 18 metres (59ft) up in the air, bringing you close to trees in
a way that will take your breath away.
