Hi all,
I know <"RBG Kew"> isn't very close, but it is well worth the effort to visit. You can often get a cheap room/cheap parking in the <"travel lodge in Brentford">. It is only a 20 minute walk from there to Kew Gardens over Kew bridge. You can go in via the Elizabeth Gate, near the Thames. You need a full day or possibly two.
If you visit after 10th May 2018 the <"Temperate Glass-house"> will have re-opened.
cheers Darrel

If i was British i would only visit already to see the Victorian style glass house architecture. Something on my wishlist for in my garden, a Victorian style Cast iron glass house. But that's likely a dream never come true.. I'll never be rich enough to build me one..

I also like Wisley, and they have the best Alpine garden ever.
Oohh and if you ever get to the Nehterlands, go visit Burgers Zoo in Arnhem, get to the Bush

Cambridge Botanical Garden, very pleasant grounds and large glasshouses with different climate zones. Reasonably priced. No parking, use Park & Ride, free for oldies.
