摘要
英国皇家植物园（丘园）位于伦敦的西南．拥有120hm^2宽阔的区域。它坐落于泰晤士河的转弯处．临近希思罗机场，但其静谧却丝毫没有受到不协调的飞机起降之干扰．这里拥有丰富的历史景观和纪念性结构．这些都得益干当时主要设计师的工作．其中就包括“万能布朗”（英国18世纪著名造园师）和德西莫斯·伯顿。2003年，联合国教科文组织将英国皇家植物园（丘园）列入了世界遗产．不仅承认了它的历史景观价值．还承认了它自1759年以来从未中断过的在植物学和环境科学领域工作的意义。
The 120-hectare expanse of Kew＇s Royal Botanic Gardens lies southwest of London. Set in a curve of the River Thames, its tranquillity untouched by the incongruous proximity of planes making their final descent into Heathrow, this is a rich palimpsest of landscape and iconic structures shaped by the work of the leading designers of their day, including Capability Brown and Decimus Burton. In 2003 UNESCO listed the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew as a World Heritage Site, in recognition not only of the importance of its historic landscapes, but for the significance of its work in the fields of botanicat and environrnental sciences conducted without interruption since 1759.
