Friends' events at Kew Gardens
As a Friend of Kew you can enjoy members-only events, such as our popular Garden Open Evenings each Summer. Friends also receive discounts on many of Kew's Adult Education courses as well as have the opportunity to meet the staff, see behind the scenes and preview exhibitions.
