On Thursday, May 28th the group had to meet up in the morning to discuss with the professors about the intentions of our final projects. After we all had our individual time to talk about or plans of action we had a planned day at Kew Gardens.

Kew Gardens is roughly 300 acres of land today but when it was first resurrected it was only 9 acres. It was first thought up by Princess Augusta, King George III in the 1750's and about 80% of the plants do not come from Britain they are mostly from the America's.

It was a nice and relaxing afternoon getting a chance to see all the different types of plants but the best part was getting the chance to go on the Treetop Walkway and see all the gardens from high up. It was a bit rocky but so worth it to see above the trees. When we got down there was even a peacock walking around just hanging out.

The gardens were interesting because the majority of the plant life came from other places other then Britain. It gave me the sense that no matter what a Londoner says they do not have everything in their city they have to go pretty far out of the country to find a good sturdy oak.
