Jules Hayward tends to plants at Kew Gardens
The Queen is due to visit Kew Gardens today to mark its 250th anniversary.
Along with the Duke of Edinburgh the Queen will tour the attraction’s flowers and displays.
The couple will be invited to plant a tree and hear about the Millennium Seed Bank – a conservation project which aimed at saving wild plant species from extinction.
