Join Kew Horticulturist, Richard Moore on a walk around Kew Palace and The Queens Garden talking about the fascinating history of this building and the beautiful gardens that surround it! I looked after the gardens surrounding Kew Palace for around two years and it is one of the most interesting and lovely areas at Kew Gardens; a quiet corner of the gardens full of so many amazing plants and scenic landscapes. In this video I take you on a full tour of The Queens Garden at Kew Gardens showing you some of the fascinating plants we find along the way.
With the gates closed and no visitors to enjoy the gardens and beautiful plants coming into bloom I'd like to share as much of the gardens with everyone who can't be here. The gardens are such a peaceful place to be and i'm very fortunate to be here amongst it all so I hope I can bring as much of the gardens to you to enjoy.
As one of the Botanical Horticulturists working at Kew we are doing all we can to ensure the health of our living plant collections during this time, one of the worlds largest and most important biological resources for scientific research.
