Overview

Water-meadow alongside the River Thames in Surrey, England. It is best visited between May and September, when the days are long, though rain is possible in any month.

Why visit: Kew, the great landscape parks and the RHS gardens — the country that invented the herbaceous border takes them seriously.

Things to do

›Come in late spring when the borders are at their fullest
›Walk the glasshouses on a wet day
›Check whether the National Trust or RHS card covers it
›Allow time for the tea room — it is half the point
