Wakehurst Place Gardens
This extraordinary estate has been cared for and developed by the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew for over fifty years. You can stroll through formal gardens and special collections of plants, explore wild places and woodlands and find out about Kew's vital science work in the Millennium Seed Bank. Wakehurst collections include plants native to the UK and specimens from around the world, displayed in formal and informal gardens which emulate the southern hemisphere, the Himalayas and other zones. Get a close look at over 300 plant species as well as dormice, badgers, kingfishers and butterflies in our 40 acre nature reserve. Explore the varied wildlife and tranquil beauty of the Wetlands like never before with our newly-renovated boardwalks, and take a moment to relax in the woodland shelter. The varied landscape is of international significance for its beautiful botanic gardens and tree collections, as well as for its science-based plant conservation and research. A feast for the senses, Wakehurst features natural woodland and lakes, formal gardens, an Elizabethan house (five unfurnished rooms) and the 21st-century architecture of Kew's Millennium Seed Bank. Includes admission; reduction for NT members.
