Full of fascinating featured plants. Who would know what the Latin names for all of them are without the helpful plant sticks to read. However l worry about how rusty some of the leaves look. Are they getting the right nutrients, are they too crowded, are they reacting adversely to the huge amount of visitors who ogle them every day. My spiky clairsentient senses picked up on some unhappy plants. The same never applies to anything outside in Kew gardens landscaping. The Palm House must be very challenging to maintain with so much of the roof's girders needing to be re painted. How can you do that whilst housing the plants. We noticed the Temperate house was closed for essential maintenance. Therefore it is very important we try to drop in extra money when we can to help those programmes. We did enjoy climbing the spiral staircase to view the palms from above. ( See photos and video)
Incredible plants and going around the world in a green house was spectacular ... shame the aquatic section was closed ...
Astonishingly beautiful, you literally feel like in a tropical rainforest. It's popular but jot too busy. Building is nice from the outside, but even better inside. Can also go up high on the walkway. It's a shame they closed the basement aquarium a few years ago. Great for adults and kids.
The highlight of Kew Gardens. It's like an indoor rainforest. Make sure to go to the top floor to feel the heat and humidity. It's interesting, but it will not amaze you. At the end of the day, they're just plants. Certainly worth a visit if you're based in London.
The Palm House at Kew Gardens is a mesmerizing haven of lush greenery and exotic flora. Stepping into this glass sanctuary feels like entering a tropical paradise, with towering palms and vibrant blooms transporting you to another world. A harmonious blend of beauty and biodiversity that's truly a captivating experience within the larger Kew Gardens.
You can find a large variety of species here, as if the same, but at the same time all different. From small plants to several meter tall trees. And most importantly, one species more beautiful than another.
Visited here during springtime, amazing victorian glasshouse. It is very warm in there, so light clothing is ideal. I couldn't imagine what it would feel like in summer, but the temperature is reflected in where these plants originate from.
It's amazing to see these tropical plants without having to travel to far from home to get a taste of other counties plants and feel transported like you're in a rain forest and to learn about commonly used ingredients such as black pepper and ylang-ylang.
