An exceptional garden. You could easily spend the whole day visiting it, with over 50,000 species of living plants. Every season brings its own surprises, and of course it's at its most beautiful in spring and summer. A Unesco World Heritage Site since 2003, it offers a breathtaking botanical world tour. The palm grove lets you discover tropical and humid environments. The Princess of Wales Conservatory takes you on a discovery of arid zones and all kinds of cacti and succulents. The Mediterranean garden presents all the varieties of plants and flowers found in southern Europe and southern France. The temperate house is another greenhouse, featuring all manner of exotic and tropical plants. Queen Charlotte's cottage recreates a 17th-century garden at a time when cultivated plants were mainly used for their medicinal virtues. The bamboo garden, the pagoda and the Japanese house are all references to Asia and its exotic plants. And that's not all: there are dozens more places to discover, including a lake, an azalea garden, a rhododendron garden and a rose garden. To the northeast of the garden, Kew Palace rounds off this magnificent excursion in style. And let's not forget the sublime Temperate House, the world's largest Victorian glasshouse, which reopened in 2018 after 5 years of renovation.
