Former Botanical Horticulturist at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. The natural world is such a beautiful place, I'm here to share it with you. Far too often we don't appreciate the plants and life around us, I hope we can all open our eyes and be closer to nature.

As a botanist, plant conservation is something I'm extremely passionate about.

Filmed with GoPro Hero7 Black, head-mounted Edited ...

Please note at 13:24 I should have said Vaccinium nummularia, not Gaultheria.
So beautiful. Thank you
I planted one 2 days ago but doubt I'll be around to see it mature into a beauty like the ones in this video 😢
That's brilliant! It's always enjoyable to see how plants grow and develop in the garden :) One of my favourite quotes is "The true meaning of life is to plant trees, under whose shade you do not expect to sit."
Inspiring. Where's the queue to join next one? Thx for sharing
Glad to see you are still doing what you’re most passionate about.
Thanks for watching! :)
Incredible!
Really interesting video, nice one!
Why no orchids no flowering plants roses
@@morenacampanero It was just the time of year, there are many flowering orchids to see during the winter and early spring 🙂
I'm from India and I also love it where are u from brother
@@lessonyouLearn Thank you, India is a beautiful country 🙂
Would love to know some of the engineering behind this - for example im guessing those cast iron covers in the walkway are a drainage channel? How does the water drain from the beds into that whilst stopping the soil going down and then does that channel go to a mains drain or a soak away?
Perfect explanation. Simple and to the point. And I can remember this info!!
Thank you! Glad you found it helpful!
Enjoyed the walk thank you
Thank you!
Extraordinary place. 🥰
So beautiful.
❤
WOW. Thank you!!!😄
Thank you, most enjoyable. But could you slow down and linger...? Felt like a garden sprint!
Currently studying to get my foot into Kew Gardens as a career, can’t tell you how exited I am and passionate about the plants 🌱 🤩
What an interesting tour, thank you for this video explaining the difference roses and their maintenance
We were there 3 weeks. The Hive structure and sound was and still is the special attraction for me. Kew Gardens! Thank you for raising the Hive to the dark skies glowing in sound.
Thank you so much
Ahh, Azaleas are a subset of Rhododendrons! I'm making a picture-book of garden flowers and have been trying to wrap my head around the differences between Rhododendrons and Azaleas for the past few days so that I accurately label the photos in my book. Your descriptions of the differences are exactly what I've been looking for, and thank you so much for taking the time to make this video!
Thank you so much, apologies for my late response! I hope your picture book has come along well, i’m glad the video has helped 😃
thank you for giving us a 'walk' in Japanese garden with fascinating info
Thank you I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you, Richard!💙💛
Thank you for this beauty😍 Could you advise, what is the best time to visit the Waterlily House at the Kew, please?
Hello, thank you for watching! I would say the best time to visit is in the middle of summer and again towards the end of summer once the waterlilies have grown to there full size!
@@thebotanicalgardener9401 Thank you👍
In 2023, we've had the cloudiest, coldest, wettest Jan-May in living memory. Hardly any days of sun this spring. Usually the Kew Rhododenrons are in full bloom by Mid May, but this year they are sparse. Back in the 1970s and 80s they would be much more impressive - thicker and more widepread - than in this video. What happened?
The summer droughts of recent years have been very unfavorable for the Rhododendrons unfortunately. Thankfully there is ongoing work at Kew to renovate areas of the Rhododendron Dell.
Thank you for sharing. Remarquable full stop but even more insightful when one knows the size today of some of the specimen filmed
Thank you!
This should be an instruction video on how to do a "vs" video. It was exactly what I was looking for. So helpful. Thank you!
Thank you very much, that's very kind! :) I'm glad it was helpful. I will be trying to make more in the future!
Beautiful, I just bought one and planted in my backyard. Can't wait to see the yellow flowers 😊
Fantastic, I'm sure it'll bring joy for years to come!
What is the day of shoot of this gorgeous blossom walk?
This was shot on the 5th April 2020
thank you!
Although this is large and spacious, I find the straight paths and borders too austere and not natural and that upper balcony walkway looks a bit rusty and precarious 😳. The U.S. Missouri Botanical Garden Climatron tropical greenhouse has natural winding and gently changing slopes, natural looking waterfall and stream vignettes and occasional benches so young and old can stop for a moment to rest and reflect, you should visit it sometime 😁. Both are nice and very beneficial to city dwellers especially, but very different in style.
thank you - this is such a beautiful, slow, sensitive walk - wonderful to see as I cant walk there now
I'm glad you enjoyed the video, thank you!
The paradise!😍🤩
We visited Kew last Saturday for the first time and suddenly ‘discovered’ The Hive. I found it very moving and an almost spiritual experience, especially in light of the recent death of Queen Elizabeth II. Thanks for posting. 👏
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed your visit! It's a totally immersive installation.
wonderful communication between worlds!
Great walk through. I never knew you could walk around the top! How is the palm house heated?
Thank you! The glasshouse is heated using the original underfloor pipes which circulate hot water!
Fabuloso video, bellísimas palmeras y plantas... gracias
I visited Kew Gardens about twenty years ago. Unfortunately, I knew very little about roses at that time. The rose garden is really impressive but it is quite, well, monotonous. I prefer mixed borders but I understand that this type of "mono-culture" is much easier to take care of. I spend a lot of time weeding the ground between my perennials, annuals and roses :-) I wonder how much watering the rose garden requires per year, the cost of the water must be enormous.
What a wonderful garden!
Beautiful- thank you for posting 🌷
Fantastic! Where can I find a downladable history of the travel from China to UK ? Many many thanks !
I hope everyone on the planet will develop love for nature, because some people I know won't even plant a single green in their home because they think that soil is dirty and plants are dirty because they have insects, stupid people
would never of know about this vidio with out you ! thank you
awesome video! how do they battle gnats?
We use biological control! For gnats we used a predatory mite that feeds on the larvae.
@@thebotanicalgardener9401 thanks for the info! can you recommend anything for our home conservatories? is it a form of bacillus thuringiensis? Im in Australia and we are in winter atm battling them with things like dish soap which isn't doing anything and having to top layer an inch is not really ideal for us. BTi is available in small quantities at 20$ a bag is not very cost efficient long term. I recently tried neem cake as a top layer but it is super hydrophobic and was suffocating the soil in plastic pots, a lot of mold would develop on it also (not to mention the interesting odour lol) then when I pulled off the top layers there were gnats and visible larvae under it...so not sure what happened there as I read it's supposed to help deter the fly and kill off the sciaridae larvae? wish I could work in an amazing place like that! what a life 😍
@@R3cKi7 For gnats I recommend a predatory mite called Hypoaspis miles which feeds of fly larvae and doesn't have any negative affects on anything else. It is a very beneficial biological control! I hope this is helpful! We always experiment and try new things. 👍☺
Sky high humidity and some of the best care in the world and the plants Still get brown leaf tips! Lesson.. I would Love to go to Kew! Must be epic
We visited Kew on Sunday and were Totally Amazed by the Hive. It was a Highlight of our visit. Thank you for the 'night view' , just wonderful So thank you for posting the video, MaryE & Family xx
