1. Isabella Plantation
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 316 reviews
Reviewed By TalDarkLeanMean - Staines, United Kingdom
Disappointingly there was no Lady Isabella Gardner who started planting exotic flowers here on her return from even more exotic locations. The name Isabel simply means grey, yellow soil of this enclosed area because this is how this boggy, soggy area looked like few centuries ago. But now it's definitely a Bella as Italian would say. This little park within a park has a biodiversity of mini botanical garden. Other than the local trademark ancient oak trees, bluebell, daffodils flowers, there are chestnut, strawberry trees, fungi, many species of butterflies ???? moths and other little animals that come out only at night. And with a free entry for everyone, this is as good as it can get.
2. Waterlily House

Reviewed By NicolaD914 - Kingston-upon-Hull, United Kingdom
This is a quite small glasshouse by comparison to the others a Kew but still well worth the visit. As the name suggests it houses a large central pond with a path circling it. It is full of fantastic waterlilies, ferns and other associated flora and fauna. The display is enhanced at present by another of the amazing Dale Chihuly glass installations so deserves a visit. Simply stunning!

Kew is London's largest UNESCO World Heritage site offering unique landscapes, vistas and iconic architecture from every stage of the Gardens' history. Our collection of living plants is the largest and most diverse in the world, growing out in the landscape and within our glasshouses and nurseries.

Lovely day at Kew Gardens well worth a visit, the Palm House is amazing beautiful so is the Waterlily House the plants are stunning, there is also an exhibition by Chihuly in the Palm House. We also saw the Palace and the kitchen there is also an ice house. Food is a bit pricey but very good
4. Japanese Landscape - Kew Gardens
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 11 reviews
Reviewed By Bluebellplasnewydd - Cardiff, United Kingdom
With and with out Chihuly this is a must see at Kew. The garden is so tranquil that you will want to construct one at home. Try and visit early or late when there are few visitors around as it can get quite crowded.
