Botanic Gardens and Arboretum. The gardens were
originated by George III. and his gardener, the well-
known William Acton, in 1760. They contain the
collections of Captain Cook and Sir Joseph Banks,
and are said to show the finest collection of exotic
plants in the world. In 1840 Queen Victoria, by pre-
sentation, made the gardens a national property. The
herbarium is the largest in the world, and there are
conservatories, museums, fernhouses, a library, and a
picture gallery—the latter being presented by Miss M.
North in 1882. Kew is one of the great suburban
attractions of London. The gardens are free to the
public every day after 1 p.m. They are maintained by
a Parliamentary grant of about £20,000. Gainsborough
(1727-88), the painter, is buried in Kew churchyard.
