Not surprisingly it became a model for everybody else in Europe.<br /><br />But what happened to the parterre? You mentioned that they were created around the Palm House soon after its completion, in 1848. But I had never heard of them, until I tripped over them by accident. Perhaps the wrought iron and glass extravaganza was sexier.Helshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02849907428208235392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757405063506888257.post-11644975812376248402011-07-26T09:07:35.970+01:002011-07-26T09:07:35.970+01:00I do like Kew Gardens.
