My day at Kew Gardens started with this:
The Temperate House: this is the largest Victorian glasshouse in the world!
Finally I met up with my friend Catherine. We had first met on the Cotswold Garden Tour over a year ago and kept missing each other in London (she is from the States also.) So this was going to be a treat. She knows Kew very well and walks there almost every day she is in London as she has family very nearby. She was the perfect host!
Just a few of the many magical moments in my day. Once again, the weather was lovely!
Just look at that color of Kew Palace! Somewhere between a coral, an orange, a sandstone…
And a short review of another wonderful…truly wonderful…day spent with friends at Petersham Nurseries. Yes, that famous/infamous/IG favorite place. Hmmm: did Terrain here in the States take a few hints from Petersham?
Walking along the Thames from Richmond all the way to Ham House was nothing short of magical. And my friends..well, it was a day of bonding, long talks and walks and oh so enjoyable.
There is more, but time is short. I am home now and the memories will always be with me.
Glad you had such a richly interesting trip Libby. I’d like to paint my house that coral color. Think the POA would mind? Husband might be first one to convince.
How I’d love to tour the Princess of Wales Conservatory!
