Bronze cast from a charred oak original (2000)
David Nash (b.1945) is a sculptor who works with wood and trees.
From April to September 2012, Nash worked at Kew on a ‘wood quarry’, creating new pieces for the exhibition using trees from the Gardens that had come to the end of their natural life.
The exhibition runs until 14 April 2013
The Temperate House was designed by Decimus Burton as a commission from Sir William Hooker, the director of the time. Construction began 18959, and the unfinished building was officially opened 1863 (although construction was not finished for another four decades in 1898).
The glasshouse reaches a height of 19m, with an area of 4880m2; the site is kept to a minimum temperature of 10°C.
Kew began as an exotic garden for Lord Capel John of Tewkesbury. It was enlarged and extended by Augusta, Dowager Princess of Wales (widow of Frederick, Prince of Wales) - this extension included various structures designed by Sir William Chambers. In 1840 the gardens were adopted as a national botanical garden. Under Kew's director, William Hooker, the gardens were increased to 75 acres and the pleasure grounds, or arboretum, extended by 270 acres, and later to its present size (300 acres). The first curator was botanist John Smith (1798–1888).

Ken came to our camera club the previous evening and gave his "Coast 17" talk. I don't think I intentionally took this for my daily snap, but who knows what goes on in my pea-brain. I had been into Bexhill town and drove back along the seafront and just couldn't resist the patch of light and rain on the horizon.
