156: Kew Gardens: Kitchen Garden

Discutafel podcast on eco-friendly gardening & permaculture

Listen to part I of Ivonne's visit to Kew Gardens in London. First stop on your tour is the Kitchen Garden.
In Georgian times, a large kitchen garden supplied members of the royal family living in Kew Palace, as Ivonne explains. Today, the fruit and vegetables are being used in Kew’s restaurants. Let’s find out which plants are being grown there now.

Ivonne also shares some Discuknowledge about Latin plant names and their origins. We see those names everywhere on signs in botanic gardens.
As always, you'll find more information in the shownote.
