| Kew’s
present 3000-acre site, in which 33,000 species are grown, has
vastly increased from the original 9 acres, where in 1759
Princess Augusta, mother of George III, laid out a private
botanic garden in the grounds of Kew Palace. New and exotic
plants were introduced; many brought back by Captain Cook from
his voyages. The gardens were given to the nation and opened
to the public in 1841 and have since become one of the leading
botanical research and training
centres. | |
