Royal Gardens

I’ve been to over a hundred botanical gardens around the world. (Yes, I do keep track of them in my spreadsheets, which were previously promptly updated but are being sadly neglected now that I’m on the road full time). And London’s Royal Botanic Gardens deserve their royal title. Miles and miles of gorgeousness, beautifully maintained. On this Sunday morning, there were lots of people strolling around, but it didn’t seem crowded. Here are a few of my favorite scenes.
