It aims to inspire visitors to take actions in their everyday lives to support the planet."

A garden may not sound like much, but if you put all of them together it will make a difference. Same as with rooftop solar. In Australia, there’s now more rooftop solar than coal-fired power.
An amazing video from #KewGardens on using motorised paragliders to sample and study plants in fragile remote desert habitats that would be damaged by vehicles.

I didn't see it yet myself. I had been sad that she was live in #KewGardens and me in France, but just found out that the event exists as a video! And 5x15 Stories is always a good recommendation for fascinating people. Soon they will bring Merlin Sheldrake as a highlight! https://www.5x15.com/events/merlin-sheldrake-live-at-royal-botanic-gardens-kew
one of the benefit of working in print. Playing with some zines/posters of #kewgardens #stauntonfarmpark & #Southsea
Continuing my photos of #gigs past here's a #throwback to #James playing #KewGardens in 2017.
Kew the Music is a laid back picnic affair for posh people. I brought my own stool, a vegetarian quiche & some non alcoholic beer to fit in with the locals. Although they were all pissed on Waitrose wine & Pimms
If you love #LiveMusic & going to #gigs let us know! Reply in this thread & I'll give it a boost. Photos of your gigs would be great
