Kew Gardens
If you’re thinking about taking plant systematics, you will be hearing about Kew Gardens! Kew Gardens is the Royal Botanic Gardens and is well known as a “global resource for plant and fungal knowledge, building an understanding of the world’s plants and fungi upon which all our lives depend.” This famous location is not only a beautiful place to learn about plants, visit what appears to be exotic forests, and enjoy a picnic, but it is also a renowned research facility. They study so many species and have save several from the endangered species list. The photo above is a weeping elm. We saw many throughout the Gardens and were able to sneak inside a few. They are definitely the stuff from fairytales!
