The Duke's Garden
The Duke's Garden is one of the lesser-known corners of Kew, overlooked by many visitors to the Royal Botanic Gardens.
This walled garden formerly was the private garden for Cambridge Cottage, once residence of 1st Duke of Cambridge, after whom the house and its garden take their names. They became part of the Royal Botanic Gardens in 1904. Cambridge Cottage now houses the Kew Gardens Gallery.
The garden features large lawns and seasonal beds, which are looking very colourful at this time of the year. It is also home to a lavender collection.
