Wonderful photos Arlene , it's years and years since we last went . you have made me think that it's time for another visit ... thank you :o)

Same here Amy, it's a few years ago now since we went and yes it is about time we went again, loved the beekeepers they look like aliens :o))

Beautiful blog with great pictures, love the willow sculptures, the water lilies fantastic, and the passiflora s well what can I say they were great, love the picture of the glass house too, and the fountains would be great on a hot day to relax and cool you. Thanks for the tour around Kew, it was delightful

OMG what wonderful Photos :) so much 2 see thanks4sharing :)x

Lots of lovely pictures specially liked the willow seeds also the water fountain and the Kew 50.Its amazing all the lovely places where you can go to sitting here at home Thanks.

Oh that was fantastic! Thank you SO much, Arlene. I used to take my HK students round Kew every year, and show them a bit of 'British' horticulture at it's very best, and they always loved the experience, and so did I!

Those willow sculptures are amazing! I liked the sycamore 'keys' the best, I think, but I wouldn't say 'no' to having any one of them in my garden!

Wonderful blog, loved it! Thank you!

Thanks for showing us your lovely photos Arlene.......I really MUST go to Kew, it's so near!

thanks Everyone~I haven't shown the inside of the Palm house~you can walk around the top or the Alpine House or the new Tree Top Walk or the inside of the Princess of Wales Conservatory although I have put photos on in
previous blogs.There is so much more to see!
They are struggling to find the money to maintain the Millenium seed bank~the government are reviewing their funding,which sounds ominous when they are trying to make cuts everywhere~ so every visit helps!

More good pics, Arlene...
.. and I still like the blue Tshirt...Lol.

~Thanks TT~ It gets everywhere!

Wonderful pics Arlene! I had intended to visit this year but didn't get the chance. Next year for sure! Loved those sculptures.....

Lovely blog Arlene,really like the cacti island and the gorgeous water lillies :))

great pics, love the sculpture,,,,,

Brill photos.

Wonderful! I'll take the lotus pod seed in willow, please! What a great fund raising idea to raise awareness as well. Had to bring my bromeliad like #6 when I moved from FL, Aechmea fasciata 'Primera", I think (wintered on porch).
