Kew Gardens is an internationally recognised highly successful scientific research institution and a major visitor attraction with World Heritage Site status. With global partners Kew Gardens is helping to secure a future for some of the most threatened species and habitats. With over 300 acres there is so much to see at Kew. Explore glasshouses, landscapes and 250 years of history at the world's most famous garden. Climb to the treetops (Kew's Rhizotron and Xstrata Treetop Walkway), delve into rainforest or discover more on a guided tour.

Scientists at Kew are looking into the use of DNA technology to help analyse and restore areas of land that have been harmed or destroyed. This is part of Kew's new research programme in restoration ecology that will reach around the world. Recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2003, Kew's rich horticultural and scientific history is interwoven with royal heritage and its historic importance.
