Secret World of Pl ants, 1 Ma y

19 Sep temb er 2 021

Visit Kew Gardens this summer and step into the Secret World of Plants a series of immersive art installations revealing the untold stories of their UK plants and landscapes, which will make you look again at the precious nature of the world around us.

Explore stunning ‘plantscapes’ by artist Vaughn Bell, six immersive structures that reveal the overlooked plant habitats of the UK. You can pop up through holes within the installations for a unique view of these incredible environments, including meadows, hedgerows, sand dunes and coastal habitats.

Elsewhere in the Gardens, you’ll be amazed at the incredible sounds of nature, heard at Kew like never before. Sound artist Alex Metcalfe invites you to uncover the unheard inner workings of trees. Stand beneath one of the suspended sound domes in Kew’s incredible Arboretum and listen to the sound of water moving up through the trees. A newly commissioned composition in response to the sounds accompanies the work. Sound artist, beatboxer and composer Jason Singh takes over the Temperate House with a fascinating look at ‘Plants as Composer’. His musical score uses technology to record the ‘voice’ of the plants, creating a beautifully melancholic soundtrack.

After exploring, rest your feet and take in the beauty of the Gardens from a different perspective on a monumental and playful seating installation by architectural designer Paul Cocksedge. A rippling wave of wood rises to form arches to walk through, and curves under to create spaces for you to sit, lie back and relax. So, come and reconnect with nature this summer, and find out more about the Secret World of Plants.

Secret World of Plants is included in admission. Special rates for groups of 15 or more people are available.

All groups must reserve their visit in advance by contacting gr oup s@kew org
