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.

More room for the Explorer?
It looks as if the paths are being widened, a bit. I'm not sure if this is a measure to tidy up the badger digging, or to allow more room for the unwieldy Explorer juggernaut. Or for some other reason?
Very good news, if it's going to be done on all the Explorer routes. Pedestrians won't have to step off the paths into the grass/mud if they want to avoid being mown down.
