This year’s highly-anticipated theme is inspired by the biodiversity of the Amazon! Step into a tropical world of jaguars, macaws, giant anteaters and poison dart frogs that have been expertly made out of brightly coloured, eye-catching orchids that will take your breath away. Kew’s talented team of horticulturists will transform the stunning Princess of Wales Conservatory into a vibrant floral fiesta, it’s a much needed burst of colour and warmth in the winter months. “Needless to say, the orchid collection was well worth seeing for its beauty”.

Your ticket includes access to the whole gardens. You'll find an 18m high Treetop Walkway, a towering interactive sculpture named 'Hive' that captures the life of the honeybee, 14,000 trees in the Arboretum including Giant redwoods and mighty oaks, 130 species in the Bamboo Garden (with its own traditional Japanese Minka House), a dramatic Rock Garden, 10,000 plants in the Temperate House, Arctic blooms in the Alpine House, an indoor rainforest in The Palm House, free daily talks and endless trails to explore ... the list goes on!
