The Kew Gardens, also known as Kew Park, is a 121 hectares area of gardens and botanical glass houses, with over 40 large buildings, a collection of 30.000 species of plants, a large herbarium and a library with over a hundred thousand books.
The gardens grew from an exotic garden founded in 1759 and the current organization was founded in 1840. It employs several dozen scientists and over a thousand people in total, and is connected to the University of Oxford.
The location is currently controlled by Clan Trilion and has been used for prestigious events in the Kindred community, making it a desirable location to own. As a result, Clan Angliae has been attempting to get a hold of it for some time.
Damascena Botanical Laboratory
The Damascena Botanical Laboratory, named after the Rosa damascena also known as the Damask rose, was constructed after a sizable donation of 2000 pounds in May 1875. The donation, by Lady Gallorett, was made with the intent to support the scientific research performed at the gardens themselves. The Damascena laboratory consists of four research rooms and an office.
