What's on at Kew Gardens

Rhizotron and Xstrata Treetop Walkway

The Rhizotron and Xstrata Treetop Walkway opened to the public in 2008 on International Biodiversity Day. It was designed by Marks Barfield Architects, who also designed the London Eye.

Stag Beetle Loggery

Kew’s stag beetle loggery was created to provide a safe haven for stag beetles, which are globally endangered.

The Rhododendron Dell is believed to date back to Kew’s early days. In around 1734, Charles Bridgeman created a sunken garden on the Richmond Estate (now the western half of Kew).

Kew created its first Azalea Garden in 1882, on the site of a former American Garden.
