Not likely - I think the organisers balked at the idea of having ten thousand sweaty joggers trample over their plants so they kept us circling round paths...

The Greenhouse at Kew is an impressive feat of design, and construction, considering it is about 15- years old.

If you get a chance, go. Its a lovely place when not filled with runners.

Bo"ooooh exotic plant action"urne
