The Bottom Line
Kew's Big Trees is an excellent introduction to the trees at Kew Gardens and trees in general.
Pros
  • Good introduction to dendrology (learning about trees)
  • Includes four seasonal trails around Kew Gardens
  • Well-priced at £4.99
Cons
  • It's considered a children's book but I would say this was untrue as it's suitable for everyone
  • Only 64 pages but remember it is an 'introduction' not an encyclopedia
Description
  • Well-priced at only £4.99.
  • Flexibook with full-color glossy pages.
  • 64 pages.
Guide Review - Kew's Big Trees - Book Review

Kew's Big Trees starts with an introduction about trees in general, then focuses on the trees at Kew Gardens. I was told this was a children's book but I would actually say it's an easily accessible book for everyone and a great introduction to learning more about the diverse trees in the UK.

I'm going to take this book with me for my next trip to Kew Gardens as I want to try the four seasonal trails and find out more about the trees at Kew. I would say this is an excellent resource and well worth the money and I'll be using it for years to come.
