Get a taste of the tropics at Kew Gardens. The rare beauty of orchids is on show in the Princess of Wales Conservatory as part of the annual Orchid Festival which runs until 6th March. And as was the case last year, the festival once again features a series of late openings giving visitors the chance to experience the colourful display after dark. Admission charge applies – for more information on dates and times, see www.kew.org. PICTURES: Jeff Eden/RBG Kew.
To think that until we moved to Crete, Kew Gardens was on our doorstep. I wish I could see these orchids, especially after dark!
Crete sounds amazing! What prompted the move?
Health (or rather lack of it) and wanting a slower pace of life. However, I’m beginning to miss Blighty more and more!
