I love Kew Gardens, but I worry that they're being steadily ruined by the misguided management. I'm all in favour of raising money for worthwhile botanical ends, but the gardens themselves are being turned into a theme park, with ever more intrusive 'interpretation' and 'attractions'. Meanwhile, the greenhouses are in dire need of cleaning and renovation.
My posts are a mix of news and impressions - some favourable, some not.

The dark colouring of the holm oaks make a fine contrast with the snow in the Syon Vista (planted 1845-6).
