A couple of weekends ago I went to Kew Gardens with a friend. I had been planning to go since I moved over to London three years ago. But somehow it never happened.
But now finally I made it on a glorious autumn day. Enjoy the photos:
The Pagoda was very fascinating. I took many pictures of it.
They had a little forest of redwood trees. They were huge, but apparently they weren't even half the size of the biggest ones ever found. That is just crazy!
Pagoda from afar. There were big 'lanes' running through Kew where you could walk across and watch tree. I love trees. It was so great to be in such a green place in the middle of London. The only annoying thing were the planes heading for Heathrow. They fly really low and are very loud.
Biggest surviving Victorian glasshouse structure. It looks beautiful. I took this photo from the treetops on the tree walk. Yes, they have a walk inside the treetops. It was amazing! And a little shaky...
Banana palm. I used to have one. Much smaller though.
Star fruit.
Bonsai. This was hidden away in the garden behind some research buildings. The map they give you is a bit crap.
I was very glad that I went. I might have to do it again in spring. Though autumn was really nice with the trees in glorious colours.
