Visitors can expect to see a glassy wonderland with ten computer-controlled climate zones, leading them through a series of fascinating ecosystems. From carnivorous plants like Venus flytraps to tropical orchids and bright bromeliads, there is a new surprise at every corner of this winding glasshouse.
In 1985, Sir David Attenborough buried a time capsule containing seeds of basic food crops and endangered species in the foundation of the conservatory. It will be opened in 2085, potentially showcasing rare or extinct plants that were preserved for future generations.
The highlight of the wet tropical zone is the giant waterlily Victoria boliviana, which floats in the water and has spectacular flowers that open at sunset and close in the morning. It is a unique and beautiful plant to see during a visit.
Visitors can expect a delightful experience filled with an explosion of colors, sweet fragrances, and a vast expanse of gardens that feel like stepping into a living painting. The informative signs around the conservatory help visitors understand the importance of plant conservation and the role Kew plays in safeguarding plant diversity.
Visitors have described their experiences as absolutely delightful, impressive, stunning, and amazing. They have praised the beauty of the botanical displays, the variety of plants from around the world, and the peaceful retreat the conservatory offers from city life. Many visitors are looking forward to returning for future events and exhibitions.
