Website | EmailStarted in 1759 by Princess Augusta, her hobby developed into one of the most famous collections of flowers the world has ever seen. Kew Gardens is now a sprawling 300-acre riverside site housing over 300,000 different varieties of plantlife. The main attractions at Kew are the world-renowned greenhouses, each one an architectural masterpiece - the Japanese Pagoda, Queen Charlotte's Cottage and finally the Palm House! There are also various magnificent themed gardens exhibited throughout the year. The closing hours vary by season. Glasshouses and galleries always close before the gardens.
