During the recent half-term, we visited the 23rd Orchid Festival in Kew Gardens. We were there for opening time and were able to wander around the fantastic displays freely.The festival this year celebrates Thailand and the 1,100 orchids which can be found there. As well as stunning displays, there’s a rice paddy and an orchid palace.
The orchid festival is easily my favourite annual event at Kew.
This looks fun. Kew is one of the places on my list of places I really want to visit. Hopefully this year!

Oh such a beautiful display. Beautiful orchid palace. I think seeing a rice paddy (the oxen?) would be fascinating. Must be a world wide blooming time because this past weekend several of the garden centres had displays of orchids & a not so close, public botanical gardens had their orchid show. Costco was even in on it & selling the really excellent fake orchids.
