Orchid Extravaganza at Kew Botanic Gardens

For the 12^th successive year the Royal Botanic Gardens Kew will be awash with orchids from 4 February to 5 March. The Princess of Wales Conservatory is again being transformed by these wonderfully colourful and exotic blooms. Over 250,000 flowers will make up artists’ palettes and giant paintbrushes.

Every year thousands of visitors are amazed and delighted by the Orchid Festival and there are opportunities to join behind the scenes tours of the orchid nurseries and plants and books will be for sale in the shop

In addition, of course, there are the other glasshouses and the gardens always delight visitors to this World Heritage Site. 020 8940 1171.
