BOTANICAL GARDEN IN LONDON
There are eighty parks in London, large and small. Three of them are in the centre of the city: Hyde Park, Regent`s Park and St. James`s Park. The others are in different parts of London. London is a very green city.
In the south-west London, near the river Thames there is a fantastic park of Great Britain – the Kew Gardens. It is a botanical garden. All year round you see lots of flowers there because Kew gets its plants – 100000 different plants – from almost all countries of the world. The plants which like hot weather live in greenhouses, for example, palms grow in the palm house. Another house, which people like to visit, is the cactus house. Cactuses came here from desert where month after month it doesn`t rain.
There are hundreds of different trees in 120 hectares of Kew. Some of the trees are 200 years old. The workers of the garden planted them when Kew was quite young. In some countries some trees become scarce. The workers of Kew go to these countries and come back with seeds of these trees and plant them at Kew. Thus the trees which are few in the world live in this garden.
Kew is important for men who are fond of nature, trees and flowers, and for young men who are going to study botany and gardening. Every year sixty young men from all over the world come here for the three-year-course of gardening at Kew.
In three museums of Kew visitors see timber from the trees of many countries, food plants, medicine plants and industrial plants. 300 people work at Kew. In fine weather about 20000 people a day come to visit Kew.
