As part of the 250th anniversary celebrations of Kew gardens, special tours are being arranged!
Included in these tours are the Behind-the-Scenes series, offering a rare glimpse at the goings on outside the usual public areas. Did you know for example that they do DNA sequencing to determine plant genus, classify pollen for the police or they are doing research into anti-oxident HIV treatments intended to benefit the people of South Africa?
I think this is a great opportunity for those people who live in the area, or plan to visit. Be sure to book in advance if appropriate, as most of the tours are first come first served and are filling up.
