Hello.

My name is Lola. I feel privileged to be able to share my experiences of the things I love with you through my blog and quarterly features on Kinimori.

I am passionate about plants and horticulture, and exploring their links with human existence and creativity.

I hope this blog inspires you. Feel free to leave a comment or follow me on social media. Enjoy!

Kew Gardens in London is temporarily closed to the public but plant lovers can enjoy a virtual tour online. I was fortunate to visit on the day before it closed in March. I’m blessed to have lots of pictures and video clips to look back on. On that day, the glass houses were closed to the public due to the coronavirus lockdown so, unfortunately, I was unable to see the tropical plants. What I did see was lots of wonderful cherry and magnolia trees in blossom. I also saw the Japanese Garden and other Japanese features within the grounds.

As you will see, the Japanese Garden was pristine as it was serene and beautiful. The peacock added a stately air to the occasion, and the nearby pagoda was impressive too.

I will be back!
