1. Celebrating 300 years of
St Anne’s Church
2014 was the tercentenary of St Anne’s
Church on Kew Green. The church is steeped
in history connected to Kew Gardens. Visit
the church to see the botanical links inside,
including the new botanical altar hangings
and the new baptismal font with references
to the Palm House.
Many plants have become significant
and often sacred in societies around
the world, after being used for
thousands of years in food, medicine
and faith. Look out for plants in the
Gardens at Kew to discover how
they have become integral to so
many cultures.
