Garden Museum and Kew

Last weekend I went to London again there is just so much to see and do there.  On this trip I went to the museum of garden history as well as Kew gardens again.  The garden museum was very interesting to see they had modern exhibits as well as some historical exhibits.  They had quite the selection of old tools which was very interesting to see.  They had everything from hand tools, knives, gentlemens walking sticks with various tools built on the end, apple pickers, and lawn mowers.  The modern exhibit focused on new techniques that are being thought of to beautify the public transport of england like the rail system lines as well as more effective ways of using their space to grow ornamental and food crops.  The museum also had a small garden in the back which featured a very nice box hedge knot.  I really enjoyed the garden museum to see how the profession and the tools have changed over the years. 






























The trip also included another stop at Kew botanical gardens.  It was nice to see it later in the season when the trees are changing and starting to drop their leaves.  It is such an amazing vast garden that there was areas I saw this visit that I missed before.  They had also installed the formal bedding in front of the glasshouse which was not done when I visited last time.  The rock garden was looking amazing as well with its fall color.
