Kew Gardens

On the 1st we went to Kew gardens. It is quite a nice but such a huge area we only saw about 1/3 of it. We did look in the famous palm house and also the temperate house which are both heritage listed and over 150 years old. The temperate house was the largest greenhouse in the world.

This potted Cycad was brought to Kew in 1775.



The gardens also contain many "follies" like this ruined Roman arch that were popular at the time.
