» Spring Trip to Kew Gardens

If you’re a fan of Thomas Lyte I highly recommend a visit to Kew Gardens this spring. It’s apparent throughout the grounds that they share the same thought, passion and love for design and growth, a truly inspiring place to take a bike ride.

Making the most of the sunny weather this week I packed a mini outing bag, hopped on my bike and made my way to see the beginning of one of the biggest displays of colour in the country (5million bulbs continuing to bloom over the next 3 months). Check the Kew Garden online Bulb Map which is regularly updated so you never miss stunning displays!

So much more than 300 acres of beautiful landscapes, the gardens are an historic sight, enriched with history and host of artistic talents. I’m looking forward to visiting again in May for the International Photographer of the Year Exhibition showing the very best amateur and professional garden photographers in an outdoor display.

To help me capture the flowering splendour I took along my new Diana Mini 35mm film Lomography camera. An inexpensive purchase which allows endless creative opportunities and a good learning camera for those who have never used film before! Having used digital for so long I had forgotten the excitement of film, I absolutely encourage more use of non digital cameras. The anticipation for collecting my film tomorrow morning is immensely exciting and a feeling I have very much missed.

A must see is the treetop walkway, the 18-metre high, 200-metre walkway guides visitors around the crowns of lime, sweet chestnut and oak trees.Perch amongst the birds and take in the view from above with a cup of refreshing peppermint tea, I had mine in the Thomas Lyte Leather Bound Thermos Flask.
