KEW. Royal Botanic Gardens

Hi bloggers

In the post of the week i decide to write about the KEW gardens. Looking on the internet about London attractions i saw a few pictures of those gardens and it called my atention. All that green is so beautiful that makes me want to go there and take my mom with me because she loves flowers, vegetation and gardens.

Those gardens are located in Central London, to get there you have to exit the Kew Gardens Station and walk to the Victoria Gate (located 400 metres from station) if you go by London Underground, but you can also get this place by train and bus. The price of the tickets to get in is £16.00 for adults and free for kids 16 and under. The place have 121 hectares of garden to walk and enjoy the nature and also can visit some iconic buildings in there like Palm house, Queen charlotte cottages and Xstrata Treetop Walkway where you can walk by between trees and if you get tired you can rest on grass and make some picnic, a special activity to family.

  Another personal reason to visit the gardens are the Glasshouses and Galleries which are an important thing to arquitecture, these constructions mark an age in structural and material progress. I've only seen on photos and i wish to know in person.

The Temperate House is the largest surviving Victorian glasshouse in the world,
covering 4,880 square metres and extending to 19 metres high.
