Scientific ConferencePlant conservation for the next decade:
a celebration of Kew's 250th Anniversary Our research focuses mainly on our collections of plants, both living and preserved, and scientific literature. Full use is made of the extensive human knowledge base and expertise in taxonomy and horticulture in the institute as a whole. Science DirectoryThe Science Directory provides a detailed and comprehensive account of our scientific activities.
Horticultural activitiesHorticulture at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, is a multi-purpose activity, supporting the institution's research programme and balancing this with a high-quality visitor amenity. Our unrivalled living collections represent a resource for botanical science world-wide, whether for pure scientific purposes or those with economic potential. Most important of all, the living collections and the horticultural skill that cares for them are a resource for ex situ conservation of plant diversity and its integration with habitat restoration and species reintroduction.
Other Science newsA review of scientific news is published in our six-monthly journal, Kew Scientist.
