This summer, Kew is collaborating with a mix of inspiring leaders to create five new trails through the Gardens. With contributions from artists, musicians and environmental protectors, each trail will invite you to feel, hear, move and think differently in nature. Choose your journey and experience Kew’s iconic sights in fun and unexpected ways at The Wander Project. Here until 3 September only.

Kew is full of year-round attractions including an 18m Treetop Walkway, a towering interactive sculpture named 'Hive' that captures the life of the honeybee, 14,000 trees in the Arboretum including Giant redwoods and mighty oaks, 130 species in the Bamboo Garden (with its own traditional Japanese Minka House), a dramatic Rock Garden, 10,000 plants in the Temperate House, Arctic blooms in the Alpine House, an indoor rainforest in The Palm House, a sun-kissed Mediterranean Garden (complete with a Victorian Temple), free daily talks and endless trails to explore ... the list goes on! Don’t miss the Rose Garden in summer – home to 170 different species and designed to be a floral feast for the eye with bold plantings of mixed shrub roses.
