One part of a walk through the various landscapes at the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew. I admit I have always expressed a preference for the RHS gardens at Wisley – so much more variety and Kew is so much parkland, isn’t it. Isn’t it? Well just today, an authentic Japanese garden, a baking Mediterranean landscape, cherry-blossom-heaven, bluebell woods, magnolia grove, rhododendron walk, Palm House, tree canopy walkway, Water Lily House, Victorian style bedding. What was I thinking!
