The world’s foremost (передовой) Royal Botanic Gardens of-fer a visit at any time of the year. Containing around 30,000 spe-cies of plants, including 13 species extinct (исчезнувшие) in the wild, the gardens were created in 1722 under the patronage of George III, but Sir Joseph Banks encouraged the project from the very beginning and brought unknown plants back from a world voyage aboard Captain Cook’s ship Endeavour [ɪnˈdevə]. Go in spring for the lilac² and rhododendrons, and in winter when even on the greyest of days the greenhouses are full of ex-otic growth. At Kew you will find plants from around the globe and from every habitat – desert, swamp and rainforest.
