The delicately cared-for landscapes, and Victorian era glasshouses of Kew are celebrated as the worlds largest and most important botanical and mycological collection; consisting of over 50,000 living plant species, and over 7 million specially preserved specimens, there is no question as to why Kew is a globally renowned scientific institution for plant and fungal research.

Kew hosts millions of tourists per year, each guest experiencing a range of different sceneries as the changes of seasons affect the species, with newly discovered and ultra-rare species being cared for and selected for their ever expanding display.
