Earlier this month
I visited the Kew Gardens during the Plantasia festival. It
was my first visit there and what a great way it was to spend a
relaxing Saturday afternoon. There is so much to see that it is
basically impossible to see everything in one day. I made some
compromises and instead of frantically walking between attractions,
decided to stroll around leisurely and let the things come to me. I
also decided to return here one day, maybe in the springtime.
The gardens were
still in bloom in an extraordinary way, considering that it is
September. However there was also a little bit autumn in the air
already, mushrooms were popping out here and there.
The area was full
of spectacular glasshouses, beautiful gardens, interesting plants,
huge trees, a Pagoda for great views over the gardens and London, and
finally for relaxing after the walk Gin & Tonics Garden in the
Secluded garden. I'm afraid the Gin & Tonics Garden was there
only for the duration of the Plantasia festival, but they served some
very nice botanical drinks.
Here are some
photos I took there. In the morning it was quite overcast, but the
sky cleared during the day and the weather became really sunny and
hot.
