The landscape management of Kew
Gardens will have an important role to
contribute to the delivery of the landscape
vision. The evolution of the living plant
collection and safeguarding the Gardens’
spatial structure demands a long term,
process-orientated approach. The
structure planting needs to be gradually
adapted to reflect appropriate tree
species, age distribution, affect of climate
change etc. Differentiated management
regimes for various parts of the Gardens
will provide an important tool to create
distinct landscape character zones
expressing a sequence from intensively
maintained pleasure grounds to seminatural
woodland.
