Young people can be so creative when given permission 🎨 Take this group of young people from Stockport who came up with the idea of creating an apocalyptic, disused street of houses where nature had taken over for the Tatton Park Flower Show!

While responding to an enquiry recently, our Archives team came across this manuscript notebook, listing places where 'rare plants are found'. Compiled by Valentine and Varenne in 1829, it didn't enter Kew Archives until 1949. Take a look at what rare plants are found at Kew! 🧐

This 154 yr old illustration is perhaps THE most beautiful we've come across while digitising our herbarium collection 🌸🖍 Drawn by Harriet Scott, one of Australia’s most prominent natural history illustrators, it shows the stark difference between a live & dried specimen 👇

brat summer is over. now it's time for pannage autumn, the ancient medieval custom of releasing your pigs in the woods so they can eat the chestnuts and acorns that fall to the forest floor.
