Kew...The Royal Botanic Gardens

To me it's my history, present and future ....and for everyone else, too.  Whether you have heard of the Royal Botanic Gardens, or not, Kew Gardens, as I normally choose to write of it, and think of it, is a site of huge importance to mankind,  throughout the ages.

A much favourite plant - the Hellebore - seen in March 2013
When I'm visiting its green and hallowed pathways and byways, it's in the constant expectation of meeting an historic vision  of people in 16th - 18th century dress, of seeing famous gardeners, such as Capability Brown, about their work, and of the possibility of stepping back in time through a secret and hidden door.

The Chinese Pagoda built in the 18th c. and still standing today
Well, more on the history of Kew another time but, how about some of my photos of Kew right now, while I'm getting on with my research?

Enjoy my photos while I put a few words together, and I'll get back to you shortly.
