Royalty opens Kew Gardens' Elizabeth Gate
10:00am Sunday 21st October 2012 in News By Amy Dyduch
Jubilee year: Princess Alexandra unveiled the gate and met children
Kew Gardens’ main gate has been restored and renamed Elizabeth Gate in honour of the Queen, to mark her diamond jubilee year.
This means both of Kew’s main visitor entrances are named after the two monarchs to enjoy a diamond jubilee.
Princess Alexandra unveiled a dedication stone last week and planted a sidney pearce – a tree propagated in Kew’s tropical nursery.
