A trip to London will never be complete without a visit to the city’s famous Kew Gardens. It has been a long while since our last visit a few years ago. Here at Kew Gardens one can be assured of something spectacular at any season of the year. Our visit was on a fine October day. The last of the roses were still in bloom. The leaves on most trees were still bright green although on some there was a hint of yellow and gold. Early spring will be for the crocuses and the snow drops. Spring will find a brilliant display of different varieties of daffodils. Roses, rhododendrons and other flowers during summer, autumn for the change in colours of the leaves and winter is a time when most plants and trees hibernate away the cold months. It is safe to say that Kew Gardens is worth a visit at all times of the year.
On the day of our visit there was the promotion for cranberry, highlight on pumpkins and a display of more than 200 varieties of apples.
The Princess of Wales Conservatory is worth a visit. Here you will find a fine display of plants from regions in the tropics to the desert. The plants are well displayed with brief descriptions for each.
The rock gardens are well presented with rockery plants some of them still in flower.
Attached are some photographs of the day. Enjoy.
