Field Trip 3 - Kew Gardens

Our most recent field trip was to a place called Kew Gardens. Yes I said gardens.  There isn’t too much worth saying about Kew other then it’s a very nice place to walk around and visit. My favorite thing was the Lily house. It had a giant pond with all types of Water Lilies. The Amazon Lilies were about two feet across. My professor told us that they can grow up to 10 feet across. I’m not sure why but I just thought they were all so beautiful, it brought tears to my eyes. The pictures don't do it justice.




That's Professor Julie Thompson in the middle explaining
"the wonder of it all"
