SOMETHING SPECIAL NEXT TIME YOU ARE IN LONDON
KEW GARDENS
It really is tempting to sequester yourself in central London. Everything you need is right at hand and available in multiple colors and flavors. Maybe this time you are looking to explore past zone 2 on the tube. KEW Gardens may be just what you are looking for. I made this trip in the bone chilling cold of February. Spring is settling in now and the landscape has begun to expresses itself in deep green hues and lush flowery colors. KEW has over 50,000 living plants in this location that has been designated a UNESCO world heritage site.
The gardens are home to the world's largest Victorian glass house. The late afternoon ushers in dramatic light, the changing light making it a visual feast that brings to life the hive.
The hive is so unassuming in the daylight, but at night....
The Hive really comes to life after dark.
As you walk the park, it straddles centuries of development.
Next time you are looking for something a little special, head out to Kew Gardens
