About us \| Kew RBG Kew operates across two sites ('Sites'): Kew Gardens in west London, founded in 1759 and now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and at Wakehurst in Sussex, which is the home of the Millennium Seed Bank. RBG Kew also has a permanent research station in Madagascar. RBG Kew uses the power of science and the rich diversity of its gardens and collections to provide knowledge, inspiration and understanding of why plants and fungi matter to everyone.
