Abstract
In the late 17th century, one of the finest botanical collections in the world was held by William III and Mary II in their gardens at Hampton Court Palace. This collection was a precursor to that at Kew, founded some 70 years later. A current restoration project at the Lower Orangery Garden at Hampton Court is returning the gardens, the glass houses and the plants contained within them to the display schemes first introduced some 300 years ago.
