Since its establishment in 1759, the gardens have been a place of research, restoration and inspiration,&nbsp;drawing visitors from across the globe to explore its rare collections and diverse landscapes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2018, Kew embarked on one of its most ambitious design projects to date: the creation of a new&nbsp;Children\u2019s Garden&nbsp;&#8211;&nbsp;a 2.5-acre natural playground designed to inspire curiosity and imagination. Located in a previously underused corner of the site, the garden now stands as a vibrant celebration of nature, learning and play.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the heart of the project was a vision to reconnect children with the natural world through movement, exploration and sensory experience. To bring this to life, Kew\u2019s in-house Landscape Architect,&nbsp;Suzie Jewell,&nbsp;developed a concept that would allow children to quite literally walk among the elements.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<section aria-label=\"Childrens Garden\" data-lightbox style=\"--gallery--items-count: 0;\" class=\"gallery wp-block alignfull\">\n    <div class=\"gallery__list__wrapper\">\n            <\/div>\n\n            <dialog class=\"gallery__lightbox has-background has-mist-background-color\" role=\"dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" aria-label=\"Childrens Garden\" hidden=\"hidden\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n            <main class=\"gallery__lightbox__main\" role=\"document\">\n                <figure class=\"gallery__lightbox__main-image\">\n                    <div class=\"gallery__lightbox__main-image__inner img-fit\" data-image-orientation=\"\">\n                        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"gallery__lightbox__image\" src=\"\" alt=\"\">\n                    <\/div>\n                    <div class=\"gallery__lightbox__main-image__caption is-style-typestyle-small is-style-typestyle-meta\">\n                        <div class=\"gallery__lightbox__main-image__caption__main\"><\/div>\n                        <div class=\"gallery__lightbox__main-image__caption__secondary\"><\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/figure>\n\n                <div class=\"gallery__lightbox__content\">\n                    <button type=\"button\" class=\"gallery__lightbox__close\"><span class=\"Close\">Close<\/span>\n<span class=\"gallery__lightbox__close__icon\"><\/span><\/button>\n\n                    <div class=\"gallery__lightbox__counter is-style-typestyle-meta\">\n                        <span class=\"gallery__lightbox__counter__current\">1<\/span>\n                        <span class=\"gallery__lightbox__counter__separator\">\/<\/span>\n                        <span class=\"gallery__lightbox__counter__total\">0<\/span>\n                        <span class=\"gallery__lightbox__counter__label\">images<\/span>\n                    <\/div>\n\n                    <div class=\"gallery__lightbox__announcement visually-hidden\" aria-live=\"polite\" aria-atomic=\"true\"><\/div>\n\n                    <div class=\"gallery__lightbox__thumbnails\" aria-label=\"Thumbnails\">\n                                                    <button type=\"button\" class=\"gallery__lightbox__control gallery__lightbox__control--previous g-button\">Previous<\/button>\n                        \n                        <ul class=\"gallery__lightbox__thumbnails__list\">\n                                                    <\/ul>\n\n                                                    <button type=\"button\" class=\"gallery__lightbox__control gallery__lightbox__control--next g-button\">Next<\/button>\n                                            <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/main>\n        <\/dialog>\n    <\/section>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-typestyle-uppercase\" id=\"h-designing-for-the-elements-nbsp\"><strong>Designing for the Elements<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kew.org\/kew-gardens\/whats-in-the-gardens\/the-childrens-garden\">The Children\u2019s Garden<\/a> is divided into four interactive zones, each&nbsp;representing&nbsp;one of the essential elements that plants need to grow:&nbsp;earth, air,&nbsp;sun&nbsp;and water.&nbsp;Every space invites children to discover how these forces shape the world around them&nbsp;&#8211;&nbsp;through tunnels, canopies, bridges, trampolines, and winding walkways.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The landscape design balances natural beauty with subtle architectural form. Timber-inspired materials, earthy&nbsp;tones&nbsp;and organic curves blend effortlessly with surrounding trees and greenery. But beneath the garden\u2019s&nbsp;apparent&nbsp;simplicity lies a highly considered structure&nbsp;&#8211;&nbsp;one that had to meet the challenges of constant footfall, exposure to the elements, and the enthusiastic energy of young explorers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHaving previously specified Millboard products on design projects for schools, I knew that I could rely on the range for its durability and&nbsp;excellent&nbsp;anti-slip properties, on top of its natural aesthetic.\u201d&nbsp;<br><strong>\u2013 Suzie Jewell, Landscape Architect at Kew Gardens<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-typestyle-uppercase\" id=\"h-a-material-that-stands-up-to-nature-nbsp\"><strong>A Material That Stands Up to Nature<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For&nbsp;Suzie&nbsp;Jewell, the specification of&nbsp;<strong>Millboard\u2019s Weathered Oak Embered<\/strong>&nbsp;decking was a natural choice. This striking finish, inspired by the ancient Japanese technique of&nbsp;<em>shou&nbsp;sugi&nbsp;ban<\/em>, brings depth and drama to outdoor spaces with its rich, charred tones. The textured grain captures the look of weathered timber yet offers the reassurance of modern performance&nbsp;&#8211;&nbsp;an ideal balance for a project designed to be both&nbsp;beautiful&nbsp;and enduring.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Used throughout the garden\u2019s walkways, seating areas and play platforms,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.millboard.com\/en-us\/en-gb\/blog\/category\/weathered-oak\/\">Millboard\u00a0Weathered Oak<\/a>\u00a0decking in\u00a0Embered brings a tactile warmth that harmonizes with the surrounding environment. Its\u00a0highly\u00a0slip-resistant surface provides\u00a0assurance\u00a0underfoot, even in damp or shaded areas, while its wood-free composition means it won&#8217;t\u00a0rot,\u00a0warp, or splinter.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike natural timber, Millboard decking requires minimal maintenance&nbsp;&#8211;&nbsp;a key advantage for a site of this scale, where long-term resilience&nbsp;is&nbsp;paramount. The boards\u2019 hidden fixings and handcrafted finish also ensure a seamless, high-end aesthetic that complements Kew\u2019s design vision.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<section aria-label=\"Childrens Gardens\" data-lightbox style=\"--gallery--items-count: 0;\" class=\"gallery wp-block alignfull\">\n    <div class=\"gallery__list__wrapper\">\n            <\/div>\n\n            <dialog class=\"gallery__lightbox has-background has-mist-background-color\" role=\"dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" aria-label=\"Childrens Gardens\" hidden=\"hidden\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n            <main class=\"gallery__lightbox__main\" role=\"document\">\n                <figure class=\"gallery__lightbox__main-image\">\n                    <div class=\"gallery__lightbox__main-image__inner img-fit\" data-image-orientation=\"\">\n                        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"gallery__lightbox__image\" src=\"\" alt=\"\">\n                    <\/div>\n                    <div class=\"gallery__lightbox__main-image__caption is-style-typestyle-small is-style-typestyle-meta\">\n                        <div class=\"gallery__lightbox__main-image__caption__main\"><\/div>\n                        <div class=\"gallery__lightbox__main-image__caption__secondary\"><\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/figure>\n\n                <div class=\"gallery__lightbox__content\">\n                    <button type=\"button\" class=\"gallery__lightbox__close\"><span class=\"Close\">Close<\/span>\n<span class=\"gallery__lightbox__close__icon\"><\/span><\/button>\n\n                    <div class=\"gallery__lightbox__counter is-style-typestyle-meta\">\n                        <span class=\"gallery__lightbox__counter__current\">1<\/span>\n                        <span class=\"gallery__lightbox__counter__separator\">\/<\/span>\n                        <span class=\"gallery__lightbox__counter__total\">0<\/span>\n                        <span class=\"gallery__lightbox__counter__label\">images<\/span>\n                    <\/div>\n\n                    <div class=\"gallery__lightbox__announcement visually-hidden\" aria-live=\"polite\" aria-atomic=\"true\"><\/div>\n\n                    <div class=\"gallery__lightbox__thumbnails\" aria-label=\"Thumbnails\">\n                                                    <button type=\"button\" class=\"gallery__lightbox__control gallery__lightbox__control--previous g-button\">Previous<\/button>\n                        \n                        <ul class=\"gallery__lightbox__thumbnails__list\">\n                                                    <\/ul>\n\n                                                    <button type=\"button\" class=\"gallery__lightbox__control gallery__lightbox__control--next g-button\">Next<\/button>\n                                            <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/main>\n        <\/dialog>\n    <\/section>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-typestyle-uppercase\" id=\"h-creating-a-lasting-impression-nbsp\"><strong>Creating a Lasting Impression<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Children\u2019s Garden was designed not only to delight but to endure. As one of Kew\u2019s most visited attractions, it welcomes thousands of families each year, from early spring through to autumn. The surfaces, structures and materials chosen needed to&nbsp;retain&nbsp;their beauty and performance across changing seasons&nbsp;&#8211;&nbsp;resisting wear from weather,&nbsp;water&nbsp;and play.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The&nbsp;unique resin&nbsp;mineral composite&nbsp;core and&nbsp;Lastane\u00ae surface layer&nbsp;of Millboard decking&nbsp;deliver that longevity. The material is&nbsp;<strong>exceptionally slip-resistant<\/strong>, even when wet, and&nbsp;<strong>highly fade-resistant<\/strong>, ensuring the Weathered Oak Embered finish&nbsp;retains&nbsp;its rich tone despite&nbsp;year-round&nbsp;exposure to sunlight and rain.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From a design perspective, the dark, smoky hues of Embered create an elegant contrast against the garden\u2019s natural greens and earthy browns. It adds a sense of sophistication to a space built for play&nbsp;&#8211;&nbsp;a reminder that functional landscapes can still hold beauty at every turn.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-typestyle-uppercase\" id=\"h-a-garden-that-grows-with-its-visitors-nbsp\"><strong>A Garden That Grows With Its Visitors<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Since opening, the Children\u2019s Garden has become one of Kew\u2019s most celebrated spaces. It encourages play, learning and sensory exploration, while offering parents a tranquil environment surrounded by the beauty of nature. Every element&nbsp;&#8211;&nbsp;from the dappled light filtering through the tree canopy to the soft underfoot feel of Millboard decking&nbsp;&#8211;&nbsp;contributes to a multi-sensory experience that connects children to the living landscape.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jewell\u2019s design ensures that even the most practical components serve a purpose beyond function. The&nbsp;Millboard decking&nbsp;walkways guide visitors through the garden\u2019s story&nbsp;&#8211;&nbsp;a journey from the depths of the soil to the open sky&nbsp;&#8211;&nbsp;without ever distracting from the natural surroundings. The subtle texture of Weathered Oak Embered underfoot enhances the sensory experience, grounding visitors in the environment while ensuring comfort and safety.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<section

Children\u2019s Garden lies not only in its design but in the harmony between innovation and authenticity. Millboard\u2019s Weathered Oak\u00a0decking in\u00a0Embered embodies that same balance: a material that feels\u00a0handcrafted, yet\u00a0engineered for the rigors of public use.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From the first steps along its dark, richly grained pathways, it\u2019s clear that this is a place where imagination and craftsmanship meet. The result is a landscape that will age beautifully, continuing to invite curiosity and connection for years to come.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Project Highlights<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Location:<\/strong>&nbsp;Kew, Richmond, London&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Size:<\/strong>&nbsp;2.5 acres (equivalent to 40 tennis courts)&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Designer:<\/strong>&nbsp;Suzie Jewell \/ Ground Control&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Product:<\/strong>&nbsp;Millboard Weathered Oak Embered \u2013 used for walkways, platforms and furniture&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Opened:<\/strong>&nbsp;2018&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Purpose:<\/strong>&nbsp;To encourage children to explore the elements that help plants grow \u2014 earth, air, sun and water&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The Children\u2019s Garden at Kew represents everything Millboard stands for: design that enhances nature rather than competing with it, materials that endure where others fade, and craftsmanship that invites people to slow down and look closer.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Through the deep tones and natural texture of Weathered Oak Embered, Millboard has helped Kew create a space that is as educational as it is enchanting \u2014 a lasting tribute to the power of play, discovery and design rooted in the natural world.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<section class=\"cards-automatic cards wp-block animate alignfull alignwide has-background has-brand-2-background-color\">\n    <div class=\"cards__inner\" style=\"--cards--best-column-fit: 3;\">\n        \n        <div class=\"cards__items\">\n                            <div data-type=\"case-study\" class=\"media-object g-card animate-element\" data-media=\"image\" data-link=\"true\" data-media-type=\"image\" data-media-position=\"before\" data-orientation=\"vertical\">\n    <div class=\"media-object__inner\">\n                <div class=\"media-object__media img-fit \">\n\n                                                            <div class=\"media-object__media--hover-effect\">\n                            <span class=\"media-object__media--hover-effect__top\">\n                                View                            <\/span>\n\n                            <span class=\"media-object__media--hover-effect__bottom\">\n                                Case Study                            <\/span>\n                        <\/div>\n                    \n                    <img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"529\" src=\"https:\/\/www.millboard.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2026\/01\/Case-Study_Flagstones_5-768x529.jpg\" class=\"\" alt=\"\" role=\"presentation\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.millboard.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2026\/01\/Case-Study_Flagstones_5-768x529.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.millboard.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2026\/01\/Case-Study_Flagstones_5-300x207.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.millboard.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2026\/01\/Case-Study_Flagstones_5-1024x705.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.millboard.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2026\/01\/Case-Study_Flagstones_5-2048x1411.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.millboard.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2026\/01\/Case-Study_Flagstones_5-600x413.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/>\n                                                <\/div>\n        \n        <div class=\"media-object__content flex-column\">\n            \n            \n                            <div class=\"media-object__header flex-column\">\n                                            <h2 id=\"flagstones-residence-petersfield\" class=\"media-object__heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.millboard.com\/en-us\/case-studies\/flagstones-hampshire\/\">Flagstones residence, Petersfield\u00a0\u00a0<\/a><\/h2>\n                    \n                                             <div class=\"media-object__subheading\">\n                            The Flagstones Hampshire residence, a contemporary home at ease in its landscape.&nbsp;
