Royal Society luminaries such as Sir Joseph Banks PRS and John Lindley FRS were vital in establishing plant science at Kew. All but two of Kew’s directors have been Fellows, and Kew’s scientific progress has long been supported by the Society. This talk tells the story of this ongoing relationship.
