There are slightly more photos than usually in today’s post, but that’s because Kew Gardens was just so beautiful that I had trouble narrowing it down further! And trust me, I had over 100 pictures originally. But to keep your interest, I saved my favourite picture for last! On the first lovely, warm weekend of the spring we headed down to Kew, just beyond Richmond in London.
Kew has been on my London bucket list for ages and it was worth every single penny spent on entrance fees. (It was also in my ABC’s of Spring list.) My recommendation would be to set your mind to going mid morning, packing a picnic, and staying all day.
It’s gardens not “garden” because technically it’s two gardens smooshed together!
The Palm House
The Temperate House.
The Tree Walkway.
Queen Charlotte’s picnic cottage.
The rhizotron teaches about tree roots.
The Temperate House is being remodelled but you can still have a little peak inside.
Potted orchids.
The Palm House has spiral staircases leading up to a rooftop walkway so you can view the palms from above.
Yup, there’s even a pagoda at Kew.
I just can’t get over how handsome he looked at Kew.
Pretending Kew Palace is my home.
