Autumn at Kew Gardens

A fine old day for a stroll around Kew Royal Botanic Gardens.

Lots to see with autumn colours, beautiful vistas, the lake, old glasshouses, a great treetop walk, good indoor and outdoor childrens’ playground and of course the many displays and plantings grouped together (like the Holly Walk originally laid out in 1874). We probably only saw a half of the gardens.

Micah enjoyed searching for clues in a specially set up children’s experience related to deadly and disgusting plants. He also got a Venus Fly Trap plant now called Kew.

The boys also enjoyed  the Xstrata treetop walkway, Micah climbed all the stairs up (98 steps) and back, and Benji just loved running along the platform. There were great views out of the Kew Gardens.
