The Royal Botanic Gardens

If I worked for RBG, I would support their web site and discuss about
new interesting issues on perennials within their gardens. What Dennis
Eveleigh forgot to tell our subscribers, is the beautiful gardens which
RGB presents and what they have to offer to gardeners all around the
world. I had the opportunity to visit the gardens in Kew and I was
amazed with the different theme gardens Kew presents. The perennial
gardens are outstanding. If I remember they had two perennial areas. One
was for seed collecting...with all sorts of perennials lined up in rows.
Lucky I was their in Sept and collected a few seeds. Just A few. I know 
this is a no no but I could not resist.  The other perennial garden was
the Hardy Herbaceous Garden: (formerly the Bulb Garden) This is the
garden of Cambridge Cottage which houses the Kew Gardens Gallery. YOU
MUST LOOK AT THIS URL...yes I am yelling because you must see this url
and the gardens.

This link will tell you all about the gardens in Kew with beautiful
pictures.

When I visited the gardens I was accompanied by an fellow employee who
had no interest in gardening. I bribed him to visit the garden by 
paying  his way. I only had a three hours to visit before we jump back
on the tube. I could have  spent days in the garden. It has so much to
offer, for ever gardener, for every season.

The Royal Botanic Gardens do offer publications to expand our interest

If you are like me, I miss the garden and I wish it was a closer to
visit on a weekly basis. Everyone should go and see it if they have a
chance.
