Kew Gardens: all the scents of the world The Royal Botanic Gardens (better known as Kew Gardens) have been re- cognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site thanks to the exceptional diversity of plants on display here. Located in Ri- chmond Upon Thames, southwest Lon- don, the gardens first opened in 1759 and today these famous gardens – with over 50,000 plant varieties covering an
area of 121 hectares – are home to one of the world’s largest and most diverse collections of plants and flowers. Spring is perhaps the best time to visit, as that’s when the season’s first blossoms start appearing: you’ll see the magnificent magnolia trees in blo- om and lawns decorated with flowe- ring bluebells, white and purple cro- cuses, delicate snowdrops and bold daffodils. Another springtime highli- ght is the two parallel rows of cherry trees decked in exquisite pink blossom. Discover beautiful greenhouses, inc- luding the iconic Palm House with its exotic rainforest and Waterlily House,
with its amazing, giant lily pads. Kew Palace, the smallest British royal palace, dates back to 1631 and was built in the Dutch style. To the re- ar of the palace is the Queen’s Garden, where only plants found across the UK in the 17 th century and medicinal herbs are grown. Also located here is the Prin- cess of Wales Conservatory. Represen- ting Kew’s third largest greenhouse, it was created in 1987 under the patrona- ge of Princess Diana. It has ten compu- ter-controlled micro-climate zones wi- th specimens of plants from global dry and wet tropical ecosystems (orchids, cacti, carnivorous plants etc.).
