• Today my Mum and I went to Kew Gardens. Kew was a lovely little town filled with coffee shops, organic delis and pumpkins.
• 
• The gardens were huge and very picturesque, we had a sushi picnic next to the pond.
• 
• 
• We started by looking around the glasshouse which was huge and filled with hundreds of plants, trees and flowers. It was like heaven for my plant-loving Mum.
• 
• There was an amazing aquarium in the basement with turtles, fish and seahorses.
• 
• We then had a look around the grounds which were gorgeous.
• 
• They had nice Christmas decorations in the shop. I was tempted to steal a mini pumpkin as they wouldn't sell them to us.
• 
• We went on a tour but it was quite boring so we sneaked away when noone was looking. We found another glasshouse further in the park.
• 
• 
• This one had a scary walkway along the top. Some of the plants were so tall.
• 
• 
• We then went around the tree top walk which was pretty but a little scary when we realised that the entire structure was swaying from little children running around. It was half term, so there were kids running and screaming everywhere – I wouldn’t think a botanical garden would make for a great kid’s day out.

• 
• We then went for a look around the hot house at all the exotic plants and water lillies.
