Summary There has been an alpine house at Kew since 1887. The first house was a traditional design that was in use for nearly a century. Subsequent alpine houses at Kew have been more radical in their design and helped raise the profile of Kew’s alpine collections. The latest, the innovative Davies Alpine House, opened in March 2006.
