Place to see: Royal Botanic Garden, Kew, Kew Gardens, United Kingdom
Who knew indoor plants could be so enthralling?
While touring the Royal Botanical Gardens, Kew, we came upon the world's oldest living potted plant (planted 1775). Considering the ease at which most people kill plants, it's startling to see in front of you the one plant that has survived the longest.
About this place:
Nowhere else in the world can you go to a Chinese pagoda, walk in the desert and see the world’s oldest living potted plant (planted in 1775) than at Kew Gardens. Yes, all that is there. And more! This is the Mecca for any plant lover, containing one of the largest botanical collections in the world. Contained within the grounds are some huge glass greenhouses (some of them surviving from the Victorian age) a wildlife refuge and even a royal palace. There is always something new to see each season of the year.
