Wonderful! The autumn leaves are a great way to enjoy the trees🍁

Beautiful autumn colours & can this help us to think about looking after our climate & environment too? Get your kids outside with paint colour charts and match leaves to the different shades.

The world class Kew Herbarium was established by two of the most ‘top tier’ botanists in the world who really knew what they were doing: William Hooker and his son Joseph Hooker. Can’t question them unless you, yourself, are of their calibre; very few, if any, are. #Respect
