Trip to Kew Garden
Published 20/10/23
On Thursday 12th and Monday 16th of October, Year 7 and Year 8 students visited Kew Gardens. Upon arrival, students made their way to Palm House which is a greenhouse, were temperatures go up to 35 degrees with intense humidity! Even on the day, when it was 13 degrees outside, it was almost unbearably hot inside of the Greenhouse. Students were able to identify the different types of plants, from coffee to cocoa to vanilla plants and other tropical palms, it felt like walking in a rainforest. From there, students made their way to the Temperate House which had exhibitions of flowers, citrus plants and a display promoting the Queer Ecology found in plants. The flowers and indoor artificial waterfall garden was absolutely beautiful.
