Description
Kew Gardens is a botanic garden of 132 hectares in southwest London that houses one of the largest and most diverse botanical collections in the world. Kew Gardens offer a variety of habitats for wildlife. The Queen’s Cottage Grounds are managed to encourage wildlife. They are rich in native trees, shrubs and wildflowers, which support a diverse invertebrate fauna. Bird-feeders attract small passerines. The Rhododendron Dell provides a sheltered stretch of cover and the dense planting around King William’s Temple offers nesting sites for woodland birds. The Riverside Walk gives good views of birds on and around the River Thames. The site has two stretches of open water — the Lake and the Palm House Pond. Note that many of the waterfowl are captive birds, not wild.
