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).

Maple Walnut Oat Bread by blueskylimit

Recipe #2 from Whole Grain Baking - Maple Walnut Oat Bread. This was also delicious, but I wouldn't grind the oats as tiny as suggested, and would probably add more maple extract for flavor. The glaze on top was perfect, though!

After maple sap is evaporated by Bill Jarvis

The evaporator must be constantly monitored. The fire must be kept fully stoked.

Most important, the gauge which shows the temperature of the sap/syrup being boiled must be carefully watched. It is the temperature at which the syrup is removed from the evaporator which determines whether the product will be syrup, maple butter, maple cream, candy, etc. The temperature range for each product is very small.

As the syrup is drained from the evaporator, it is carefully filtered.
