The Kew Gardens is such an experience. This is a huge garden filled with flowers and greenery. There are two large green houses one that holds palm tree from around the world and the other has many flowers. A giant pond is in the center of the garden with lily pads, tall grasses and flower bushes around the outskirts. The pond has many geese and ducks. There is a family of Peacocks that walk around and the mom walks around with the baby that was the size of a small duck. The baby was very cute and drew a crowd.
When I walked in I first went to the right to the large green house with the palm trees. It was very humid but the trees were so cool. The trees reached the ceiling. The balcony up above was draped with the large leaves that you had to go through. Downstairs there was a marine exhibit with tanks with fish and sea creatures in them. My favorite tank had a Tiger fish that had teeth and when you watched him he would come up to the front of the tank and rub up against it. I have never seen a fish do that before and he was colored like one of my favorite animals so I really liked that fish the best.
I left and went straight through the trees and past many benches that were placed everywhere. The paths lead to flowers that covered the ground with all colors and to the river’s edge where a castle was visible on the other side. My absolute favorite area was the Tree top. After climbing five flights of stairs you reach a circular pathway that gazes over the trees below. It was beautiful and so different than anything else I have ever seen in a Garden before.
I would rate the Kew Gardens high on my list of places to see in London. It is amazing and I suggest going to visit. Check in tomorrow to see where I go and don’t forget to post a comment.
