Kew not just a pretty place: Economic Botany Collection

The Economic Botany Collection contains 90,000 plant raw materials and artefacts, and is the largest of its kind in the world. It demonstrates the fundamental role of plants in daily life, from ancient Egyptian times to the present. This tour will explore the Collection, both as a tangible record of Kew's 250 years of history, and as part of Kew's new Breathing Planet programme. In an hour the tour will cover three continents.
