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.

We're off to see the wizard
The director of Kew Prof Stephen Hopper has invited me (and a few thousand other Friends) to meet him next week, to hear about his plans for Kew. Should be interesting. Any suggestions for questions?
