Kew Highlights, Summer 2008

Queen’s Garden
The 17th-century gardens behind Kew Palace are guaranteed to restore flagging spirits, as the plants you’ll find here were mainly cultivated for their medicinal properties. Take a stroll around and discover many herbal varieties that we still use to this day. The courtyard vegetable beds are using some wonderful hand-made willow supports this year and the yew hedge is undergoing a well-deserved restoration.

Waterlily House
The hottest and most humid of Kew’s glasshouses is also one of the smallest, but no less of a wonder for it’s size. The Waterlily House was built in 1851, and is home to a host of tropical and ornamental aquatic plants, including the beautiful giant Victoria cruziana at the centre.

Kew Gardensis open every day except Christmas Eve and Christmas Day
