A view down an aisle in Kew Gardens' Palm House from the bench I was sat on to knit. On the left, a lower raised bed contains a thick tree trunk and lots of palm tree foliage. On the right is a higher raised bed, also with lots of foliage, with a ledge running around it. At the end of the aisle a construction barrier has been placed due to plants being removed in preparation for renovation of the glasshouse. In the top right, the glasshouse ceiling is visible through the foliage.
A view down a wide aisle in Kew Gardens' Palm House. Both sides are packed with palm tree foliage arching up over the aisle. What I believe is a banana tree can be seen in the immediate right-hand foreground. At the end of the aisle, partially obscured by dense foliage, part of the enormous front door to the Palm House is visible.
A view of the Palm House at Kew Gardens taken immediately in front of the lake. The Palm House is an enormous glass house; a central rectangle has two long wings extending off it, and a second, smaller storey on top of the main central square. A huge front window/door dominates the front of the glasshouse. Two large beds of grass and curated flower beds are partially visible in front of it. Above it, the winter evening sun brightly illuminates some pale grey clouds, fading into a bright blue sky on the right.
The same as the previous photograph but a closer view of the Palm House.
