The Queens Garden, even after a heavy shower it looks wonderful.

The herb garden. Most of the plants here had a little placard telling the visitor what the suggested use of the herb was in Medieval times and what year it was grown in England.

The Princess of Wales Conservatory. The conservatory has 10 different environments inside ranging from desert to the moist heat of mangrove swamps, you could feel the difference in the humidity as you moved around the building.

The Princess of Wales Conservatory. The tropical parts.

The Princess of Wales Conservatory. The desert areas.

The Princess of Wales Conservatory. The temperate area. It seemed chilly in this area after the high humidity and warmth of the other zones.

The Palm House. It was hot as we walked in the door.

But not as hot and sticky as it was up on the viewing gallery looking down on some of the plants.

The Temperate house. After the heat of the Palm House it was almost chilly in here.

The Evolution House. This House takes you through the history of plants with a timeline on the path.
