Restoring the Palm House at Kew Gardens: Part one - Decanting the plants

As plans are submitted to transform Kew Gardens’ iconic Palm House and Waterlily House into the first net-zero heritage glasshouses of their kind, the relocation and propagation of plant specimens by Kew’s expert horticulturists has already begun. Though the renovation project is not expected to start until 2027, specialists are hard at work re-potting, air-layering and relocating plants to ensure the survival of over 1000 plant species. Two cutting-edge glasshouses, one permanent and one temporary, have been built for the cultivation of tropical plants.
