The Kew Gardens Girls

We will commission a historical fiction writer to write two wartime novels that highlight the important role women played in the history of Kew. The novels will feature strong heroines, real life events and as well as celebrating the beauty of the botanical gardens. The first will be set during the First World War, and the second during the Second World War, when a number of women were employed as horticulturists to replace men who left for military service.
