Description

As you wander through the gardens at Kew, stretching across two-thirds of the grounds lies the arboretum.

It is a unique spectacle, full of luscious species, towering redwoods, and hidden life within its branches. Throughout the year, you’ll find the protectors of this mighty collection. Named the Tree Gang, this team of eight care for the trees across the whole of Kew Gardens.
