An ambitious £50m plan to renovate the world-famous Palm House, which sits at the heart of the Royal Botanic Gardens Kew, has been announced.
Around 1,300 plants will be moved to allow 16,000 panes of glass to be replaced.
Kew will also use the refurbishment – which will see the glass house closed for five years from 2027 – to reduce emissions from the Palm House to net zero.
The ‘s Rebecca Morell visited Kew Gardens to take a look around.
