Volunteer!

We need sparky volunteers to help Kew’s youngest visitors explore the amazing world of plants in ‘Climbers and Creepers’.

Find out more.....

Children visiting the Royal Botanic Gardens are now able to learn about plants through play in a unique interactive learning area. It marks a new commitment to engaging children in the pleasure and interest of plants.

In Climbers and Creepers kids can:

• climb into a plant to pollinate it

• get ‘eaten’ by a giant pitcher plant

• crawl through a bramble tangle.....

.....and have a lot more fun while discovering the importance of plant and animal relationships.
