The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew is in Richmond on the outskirts of London, and is one of the most amazing gardens in the world. It has an extraordinary diversity of plants, over 14,000 trees and it is all set within a vast and beautiful landscape layered with history and heritage.
There is always something new happening at Kew Gardens; new festivals, new events, new displays to see and enjoy.
http://bit.ly/VisitKew
Kew Gardens' Top Attractions featured here are:
Kew's Old Lions
These old trees include the ginko (or maiden hair) tree which is one of Kew's oldest, dating back to 1762 when it was planted by Princess Augusta and Prince Frederick.
Kew Palace
A rich history spanning nearly 400 years, it is also here that the original botanic gardens at Kew began. http://bit.ly/1qv5FwY
The Pagoda
Built in 1762 for Princess Augusta, the Pagoda is open to the public the first time in eight years. Don't miss out on a rare opportunity to climb to the top -- until September 7th 2014. http://bit.ly/KewPagoda
The Waterlily House
Designed and built in 1852 by Richard Turner, the star in here is the Victoria cruziana, the leaves of which can grow to 1 metre across. We also have the smallest waterlily in the world which no longer exists in the wild -- so we've saved it from extinction. http://bit.ly/waterlilyhouse
The Marianne North gallery
Showcasing more than 800 paintings of plants and flowers http://bit.ly/marriannenorthgallery
The Arboretum
A living library of trees, every tree is a page, every tree has a story - a wealth of information and knowledge.
The Princess of Wales Conservatory
With ten different climatic zones this is the most complex glasshouse at Kew. You can feel the changing environments from the desert to the rain forest. http://bit.ly/TMn9H1
The Davies Alpine House
Where spectacular alpine flowers grow http://bit.ly/1mhqoCN
The Treetop Walkway
At 18m high, you can walk 100m through the tops of the canopies, experiencing the smells and sounds, and getting a bird's eye view right across the Gardens. http://bit.ly/treetopwalkway
The Palm House
One of the world's most extraordinary glasshouse structures, it was built in the 1840's and constructed in a way that meant no supporting columns were needed. It is an amazing and iconic building, both in its design and in the plants that grow inside it. http://bit.ly/KewPalmHouse

Science and beauty come together at Kew this summer, as we explore the journey of the British bee through UK innovation and design.
An open-air structure standing at 17 metres tall and weighing in at 40 tonnes, The Hive encapsulates the story of the honey bee and the important role of pollination in feeding the planet, through an immersive sound and visual experience.
The installation is made from thousands of pieces of aluminium which create a lattice effect and is fitted with hundreds of LED lights that glow and fade as a unique soundtrack hums and buzzes around you.
These multi-sensory elements of the Hive are in fact responding to the real-time activity of bees in a beehive behind the scenes at Kew. The sound and light intensity within the space changes as the energy levels in the real beehive surge, giving visitors an insight into life inside a bee colony.

In this video, Sir David Attenborough introduces Kew's Breathing Planet Programme - a 10-year action plan to rescue, revive and restore the plants and fungi that directly or indirectly sustain us all. Its aim is to help the planet -- and everything that lives on it -- to breathe a little more easily, paving the way for a better and more secure future.
"Humans are so powerful; our capacity for destruction is so great that we have to do something positive. You can't protect the natural world unless you understand it and one of the great guardians of the natural world is an institution like this.
Kew is one of the first scientific botanic gardens of the modern era. It contains something like 90% of all known species of plants, so institutions like Kew are at the forefront of the battle so save the planet."
Kew's Breathing Planet Campaign aims to raise £100 million for Kew's important work. Find out how you can help: http://www.kew.org/support-kew/index.htm

Time Team travel to Kew Gardens. Kew Gardens is world famous, but how many visitors know they're walking on top of a lost royal palace?
King George III built himself a fine residence here but today, just the kitchen block remains unnoticed in a corner.
Tony Robinson and the team rip up the immaculate lawns in search of the elusive foundations. Clues are easy to find but can they piece together the whole plan in just three days?

Opened in 1863, the Temperate House is the largest surviving Victorian glasshouse in the world. From 5 August 2013, Kew is undertaking a vital five year restoration project, costing £34.3 million. The project will restore the Temperate House and its surrounding landscape, and convert the adjoining Evolution House into a world class public engagement centre.
Kew has raised a significant proportion of the funds needed to complete this vital restoration project, but we still need to raise an additional £1 million.
Find out more about the project and how you can help - http://www.kew.org/temperatehouse
Kew would like to thank the Heritage Lottery Fund, Defra, Eddie and Sue Davies, The Garfield Weston Foundationa, J Paul Getty Jr Charitable Trust and other supporters of this vital restoration project.

Kew Gardens
Kew Gardens is the world's largest collection of living plants. Founded in 1840 from the exotic garden at Kew Park in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames, UK, its living collections include more than 30,000 different kinds of plants, while the herbarium, which is one of the largest in the world, has over seven million preserved plant specimens. The library contains more than 750,000 volumes, and the illustrations collection contains more than 175,000 prints and drawings of plants. It is one of London's top tourist attractions. In 2003, the gardens were put on the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites.
Kew Gardens, together with the botanic gardens at Wakehurst Place in Sussex, are managed by the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew (brand name Kew), an internationally important botanical research and education institution that employs 750 staff, and is a non-departmental public body sponsored by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs.
The Kew site, which has been dated as formally starting in 1759, though can be traced back to the exotic garden at Kew Park, formed by Lord Capel John of Tewkesbury, consists of 121 hectares (300 acres) of gardens and botanical glasshouses, four Grade I listed buildings and 36 Grade II listed structures, all set in an internationally significant landscape.

Kew is a suburban district in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames, 1.5 miles (2.4 km) north-east of Richmond and 7.1 miles (11.4 km) west by south-west of Charing Cross; its population at the 2011 Census was 11,436.
Kew is the location of the Royal Botanic Gardens ("Kew Gardens"), now a World Heritage Site, which includes Kew Palace. Kew is also the home of important historical documents such as Domesday Book, which is on public display at The National Archives.
Successive Tudor, Stuart and Georgian monarchs maintained links with Kew. During the French Revolution, many refugees established themselves there and it was the home of several artists in the 18th and 19th centuries.
Since 1965 Kew has incorporated the former area of North Sheen which includes St Philip and All Saints, the first barn church consecrated in England. It is now in a combined Church of England ecclesiastical parish with St Luke's Church, Kew.

Science and beauty come together at Kew this summer, as we explore the journey of the British bee through UK innovation and design.
An open-air structure standing at 17 metres tall and weighing in at 40 tonnes, The Hive encapsulates the story of the honey bee and the important role of pollination in feeding the planet, through an immersive sound and visual experience.
The installation is made from thousands of pieces of aluminium which create a lattice effect and is fitted with hundreds of LED lights that glow and fade as a unique soundtrack hums and buzzes around you.
These multi-sensory elements of the Hive are in fact responding to the real-time activity of bees in a beehive behind the scenes at Kew. The sound and light intensity within the space changes as the energy levels in the real beehive surge, giving visitors an insight into life inside a bee colony.

In this video, Sir David Attenborough introduces Kew's Breathing Planet Programme - a 10-year action plan to rescue, revive and restore the plants and fungi that directly or indirectly sustain us all. Its aim is to help the planet -- and everything that lives on it -- to breathe a little more easily, paving the way for a better and more secure future.
"Humans are so powerful; our capacity for destruction is so great that we have to do something positive. You can't protect the natural world unless you understand it and one of the great guardians of the natural world is an institution like this.
Kew is one of the first scientific botanic gardens of the modern era. It contains something like 90% of all known species of plants, so institutions like Kew are at the forefront of the battle so save the planet."
Kew's Breathing Planet Campaign aims to raise £100 million for Kew's important work. Find out how you can help: http://www.kew.org/support-kew/index.htm

The project will restore the Temperate House and its surrounding landscape, and convert the adjoining Evolution House into a world class public engagement centre.
Kew has raised a significant proportion of the funds needed to complete this vital restoration project, but we still need to raise an additional £1 million.

Kew Gardens
The air was cool on lily pools,
Hazy lazy,
And here and there he'd stop to stare
Admiring all the flowers,
Wandering round for hours.
The sun was warm across the lawn
Scented blended
He saw her linger
And With her finger open up a rose,
Standing on tip toes
Suddenly the rain came flurrying,
Sending the two of them scurrying,
Helter skelter for the shelter
And feeling bolder in the big pagoda,
He gently enquired her name,
And they waited till the sunshine came.
Kew gardens
And for a while
The griffin smiled,
Kindly, blindly,
Till the evening bell broke the spell,
And sadly they said goodbye
And one of the griffins cried.
