Sadly I'm working with no chance of leave. It's usually a good day though. If you get there at 10 you get into the gardens for free. Then meet at the same place again for the afternoon and get a chance to see the private greenhouses. Usually well attended...

I'm curious, whats happening at Kew Gardens? I've read a few of the 'Open Day' threads and found no mention of Kew Gardens in any of them but maybe i missed something? I would like to attend one of these Open Days, maybe even this summer if i can manage it but find some of information a bit vague. Am i missing something?

Thanks for clearing that out. I assumed anyone could get in free before 10am. I was planning to go but very recently got a new job which has put a spanner in the works. I'll make it to an open day eventually!

I was there with the Missus. We went in at 10 am, but at 1pm we were near the Pagoda and couldn't get back in time to see the greenhouse plants.
