The Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew250th anniversary celebrations

For 250 years Kew has been collecting exotic plants from across the world - this is celebrated in our colourful Global Display. From June onwards you can enjoy beautiful plants from six continents and learn where those flowers in your garden really came from...

Treetop Walkway

The most compelling tree-top experience in the UK - Kew's Rhizotron and Xstrata Treetop Walkway takes you under the ground and then 18 metres (59ft) up in the air, bringing you close to trees in a way that will take your breath away.

Queen's Garden

The 17th-century gardens behind Kew Palace are guaranteed to restore flagging spirits, as the plants you'll find here were mainly cultivated for their medicinal properties. Take a stroll around and discover many herbal varieties that we still use to this day. This summer you'll find a host of aromatic plants from the Mediterranean region, including lavender, sage, oregano, thyme and rosemary.

The Palm House

This well-loved display, one of the most iconic images of Kew, will look quite different this year. The border will hold an array of Mediterranean fruits and vegetables, ranging from nine varieties of aubergine, growing in the urns by the pond, to olive trees and even watermelons.

Bamboo Garden

This is home to the UK’s largest collection of bamboos, which range from the well-known lofty pole varieties to wispy, variegated species. Dominating the garden is the Minka House, an authentic Japanese farm dwelling dating from the early 1900s and reconstructed at Kew Gardens.

Kew Palace

Explore the beautiful Kew Palace and uncover its intriguing stories, from its origins as rich merchant's house to royal home of George III and members of his family.

Highlights include George III's daughters' doll's house and an extraordinary Jigsaw cabinet containing some of the earliest jigsaw maps in existence - used to teach geography to the royal children.

A separate ticket is required to enter Kew Palace, but you must also purchase a ticket for Kew Gardens
