INTERNATIONAL STUDENT SUPPORT KEW GARDENS TRIPS

Kew Gardens the Sounds of Blossom
Saturday 5th April

As we head towards the end of term, it is the perfect time to wind down before the lead-up to the exam period. If you are staying in London for Easter, the Kew Gardens Sounds of Bloom, in collaboration with the London College of Music, might just be the perfect event for you.

Come and celebrate the arrival of spring at Kew Gardens, surrounded by spectacular spring blossoms.

In collaboration with the Royal College of Music, Sounds of Blossom will bring the spring blooms to life. Music students from the college have composed new music, commissioned by Kew and inspired by the glory of spring. These new compositions will be played around the Gardens in Kew’s blossom hotspots.

Immerse yourself in nature and feel all your senses awaken as you wander amongst the trees – see the pastel colours, hear the gentle music and smell the sweet scents on the breeze. Sounds of Blossom is a chance to breathe, to lift your spirits and to reconnect with nature and yourself.

Please note this is an opportunity for you to enjoy Kew Gardens at your leisure and is not a group tour.

Price £5 (includes entry to Kew Gardens)

You can enter the Gardens between 11am-6pm (last entry is 5pm)

Kew Gardens: The Power of Trees Exhibition
Saturday 3rd May

As we head into the exam period, we would encourage you to take some time away from your studies or even take your studies outdoors to enjoy some fresh air amongst the trees. Being outdoors during exam preparation offers numerous benefits, including improved mood, reduced stress, better concentration, and enhanced cognitive function, all of which can contribute to better exam performance.

The Power of Trees invites visitors to explore the enduring beauty of trees across art and culture.

The exhibition showcases a diverse range of works, from intricate botanical illustrations to a groundbreaking video installation, which look at how trees have shaped human creativity.

Finnish visual artist Eija-Liisa Ahtila’s Horizontal–Vaakasuora offers an awe-inspiring portrayal of a 30-metre-tall spruce in Finland’s boreal forest. Complete with the sounds of a creaking trunk and birdsong, this living portrait captures the majesty of this ancient tree while challenging our perceptions of the natural world.

Accompanying the installation are Ahtila’s preparatory works, Anthropomorphic Exercises in Film, making their UK debut at Kew.

This is an opportunity to explore your gardens at your leisure and is not a group event.

Price £5 (includes entry to Kew Gardens)

Please note the exhibition closes one hour before the Gardens
