Kew Gardens / With 24 full-page Illustrations in Colour

A richly illustrated descriptive guide examines the development, royal associations, and horticultural features of a famed riverside botanical estate. The narrative recounts the site's use by successive monarchs and aristocrats, traces the creation and evolution of its formal and wild gardens, and sketches the adjacent village and its buildings. Practical commentary for visitors accompanies detailed descriptions of iconic structures, glasshouses, plantings, and seasonal displays, while color plates and scene studies emphasize rhododendrons, water features, ornamental beds, and specimen collections that together record both historical memory and cultivated botanical variety.
