Kew Gardens visit

The Kew Royal Botanical Gardens are the most prestigeous in the world. They are set on a 121 hectare site in Kew, bounded by the Thames river. The gardens offer numerous differents landscapes within some of which are set inside grand old victorian green houses and some new hot houses such as the terrace style Princess Diana green house inside the planting has been incredibly well thought out to accomerdate countless species living in harmony yet all asthetically pleasing to the public. The outside areas around the grounds are kept in top condition and have many different facets to their design layout. There are areas which are laid out for children to play, sucluded pathways, japanesses style gardens and maze like hedges. This is just some of whats at Kew but everything I have seen flows well into each other and seem effortless in doing so which I think is a testament to it design.
