Kew Gardens’ summer programme asks ‘What do plants really mean to you?’ and ‘Can you see beyond the green?’ to help us embrace the wonderfully weird world of plant biodiversity through newly commissioned interactive art installations using music, sound and colour. Large-scale, immersive ‘plantscapes’ spread out across Kew Gardens celebrate British biodiversity and warn of its decline. The magical atmosphere helps us tune in to musical symphonies created by the natural sounds of plants and trees. In addition to Secret World of Plants installations, the Naturally Brilliant Colour art exhibition in the galleries showcases the brightest colours found in nature.

The last year has been difficult for everyone and the gym and fitness industry has been one of the hardest hit. Even the most seasoned athletes have struggled to find the motivation to train on their own, in cold, dark lockdown 3.0. Gyms are not just for working out in, they are a community, a hub, a place where you can shut yourself off from the outside world for a few hours to take some time to yourself, to work on you. While many have found that they are able to workout at home and some have even preferred it, we know that there are still a vast amount of gym users, desperate to get back to their gyms and classes to find that old comfort in the iron paradise, to be able to share their fitness journey with other like-minded people and to be able to push themselves to new levels of strength and fitness that isn’t necessarily available to everyone at home.
