Cacti at Kew Gardens

Kew Gardens

This is the last in a series of three posts about Kew Gardens in London. In one day, we visited the temporary Orchid exhibition, the Palm House and a greenhouse dedicated to cacti. All three were memorable and I would thoroughly recommend a visit to Kew. Besides the three exhibition spaces featured on this blog, there are dozens of other glasshouses and specialised areas to see, not to speak of the Treetop Walkway, a viewing platform towering 18 metres above the ground which is accessible for free and offers mesmerizing views of London. Truly there is something for everyone. From the Japanese Gateway, to the Ginkgo, the Azalea and the Woodland Garden, several visits could offer a new experience every time. There are plenty of cafés and also a well-stocked gardening shop.

Orchids Exhibition at Kew Gardens

Orchids at Kew Gardens

A few months ago, we went to see the Orchids exhibition at Kew Gardens. The dedicated greenhouse was filled with tropical mist, and water sprinklers filled the air with warm water droplets. It was heaven.
