As a charity, any income that we generate from the family learning programme goes directly towards managing our resources, maintaining the Gardens, and supporting Kew’s vital scientific and conservation work, for the benefit of our planet and the next generation.
Be immersed in plants and nature during our interactive storytelling family sensory tour with a seasonal focus in our Mediterranean Garden.
Our tours are designed for children age 0 to 7 years with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) or children and young people with severe, profound and complex learning difficulties.
Tours are led by trained volunteer guides and accompanied by supplementary resources to support sensory engagement.
