Make Memorable Visit On Kew Gardens

Kew Gardens was one of seven planned garden communities built in Queens from the late 19th Century to 1950. Kew Gardens is 300 acres of land situated near Richmond, south-west of London and today is dedicated to preserving its historic assets for future generations.
The gardens are "Royal" because for many years the estates that now form the gardens were owned by members of Britain's royal family.

The gardens today present an enjoyable mix of landscaped lawns, formal gardens, and greenhouses. Equally important, Kew functions as a botanical research centre and maintains the largest plant collection in the world.
The various greenhouses display plants from across the world in climate controlled environments, while Kew Gardens Gallery houses art and photographs illustrating botanical themes. The Director of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, is responsible for the world's largest collection of living plants. The organisation employs more than 650 scientists and other staff. The living collections include more than 30,000 different kinds of plants, while the herbarium, which is the one of the largest in the world, has over 7 million preserved plant specimens. A very popular attraction for visitors to London, Kew Gardens is most crowded during the summer months, especially summer weekends. Spring and fall may be better times to visit, if you wish to avoid the crowds.
