Autumn in Kew's arboretum

Kew's Arboretum in Autumn

Kew's Arboretum holds a comprehensive collection of hardy trees, many of which are arranged in groups according to genera – meaning that trees that are related to each other are placed together for comparison and ease of research. However those in the northern area form mixed decorative plantings - this division reflects the historical development of the Gardens.

For management purposes, the Arboretum is divided into three areas. North Arboretum includes the original 1759 botanic garden and amenity plantings, West Arboretum includes the Lake, Bamboo Garden and Rhododendron Dell, and South Arboretum contains Berberis Dell and Queen Charlotte's Cottage Grounds.
