Recommended viewing: A new four-part TV series launched on Channel 5, on Thursday’s at 8pm, follows the work of the Royal Botanic Gardens, @kewgarden. This series takes viewers behind the scenes, giving a glimpse of what makes Kew so special. It includes never before seen footage of the gardens during closure in the spring of 2020 and behind-the-scenes access to expert staff from RBG Kew’s world-leading horticulture and science. Miles Water was involved in the design and build of all of the rock features and streams, including the main water feature, the rock cascade and reflection pool within the Temperate House. We were also contracted to transport the ancient trees from storage across the park and replant inside the refurbished Temperate House. Some of these trees were more than 100 years old, and in some cases, the last remaining example in existence, so let’s say it was a delicate process!
