Beneath the serene canopy of Kew's global heritage lies a world where history refuses to sleep. From real witches in the arboretum and wyverns on the pagoda to numerous ghostly parties and an unspeakable something in the rhododendrons, this collection uncovers the peculiar folklore of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew.
