Kew Gardens

Kew Gardens offers a wonderful day out for all.

The Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew, commonly referred to as as Kew Gardens, cover an area of over 300 acres in south-west London. Kew Gardens is a World Heritage Site and the extensive gardens and botanical glasshouses are home to over 30,000 different specias of plants from all over the world.

Mediterranean Summer

This summer the Gardens celebrate the Mediterranean region's plants, climate and foods, and include some spectacular new attractions, from a golden beach to a stunning lavender avenue.

During the summer the Gardens are full of colour as many of the displays come onto full bloom. This year to accompany the seasonal highlights, such as the Rose Garden, Duke's Garden and the giant waterlilies, there are a host of Mediterranean plants to add to the kaleidoscope of colour.

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. This summer you’ll find a host of aromatic plants from the Mediterranean region, including lavender, sage, oregano, thyme and rosemary.

The Palm House

This well-loved display, one of the most iconic images of Kew, will look quite different this year. The border will hold an array of Mediterranean fruits and vegetables, ranging from nine varieties of aubergine, growing in the urns by the pond, to olive trees and even watermelons.

Bamboo Garden

This is home to the UK’s largest collection of bamboos, which range from the well-known lofty pole varieties to wispy, variegated species. Dominating the garden is the Minka House, an authentic Japanese farm dwelling dating from the early 1900s and reconstructed at Kew Gardens.
