Book tickets for Kew Gardens (Royal Botanic Gardens)
Kew Gardens are adding a splash of colour to the winter months with their Tropical Extravaganza. With a festival inspired by the forces of nature - fire, air, water and earth the Princess of Wales Conservatory will be transformed into an exotic landscape of plants and flowers with fiery reds, yellows and oranges and well as shimmering blues and silvers. There is also the opportunity for visitors to go behind the scenes and discover the nursery's plant conservation work, learn from the experts on how to care for orchids and finish the day with a vanilla tea in the Orangery. About Kew Gardens (Royal Botanic Gardens)
Since the 18th century, these extensive gardens have been the spiritual home of botany in England, if not in Europe. From the cooling glades of the British Woodland Garden to the pulsating humidity of the exotic Palm House, the delicate beauty of the Rose Garden to the soothing tranquillity of the Waterlily House, at Kew you can witness over 40,000 plants embarking on a fascinating journey through their annual cycles - flowering and fruiting, growing and resting.
