British botanist Joseph Hooker was the Galileo of plants. He spent his life studying every petal, stem and behaviour of shrubs and flowers around the world, earning him the title the 'King of Kew'. This exhibition charts his discoveries through botanical drawings, and will put the earliest western illustration of Mount Everest on display.
Once you've schooled up on the the latin names for daffodils (narcissus) and the crocus (crocus sativus), you can stroll through the largest display of spring flowers in the country.
