Kew Gardens are the Royal Botanic Gardens in London. I've been meaning to visit, and as we recently had an above 80 degree day, we took advantage.
They are a lot like Longwood Gardens near Meg (outside of Philly) but a lot more acreage. I really didn't caption the names of the plants for the most part - except for some of the heritage trees. Some of them you will know, as I did; a lot you won't, as I didn't, but they were all lovely. The Brits really do know how to turn a spade - the gardens here are outstanding! The first botanic garden at Kew was established in 1759 and despite a down period during the 19th century, it's been "growing" ever since.
