Everywhere we looked, we were bound to see some pretty pink flowers from all directions. How beautiful it was is beyond description! Walking around the park during this time was truly spectacular—it certainly gave us an illusion that we were in a sea of pink. While there were a lot of people, it was easy for us to find our peaceful spot in the park as it was huge and expansive!

As wide as the world around, my eyes pierced at the doorway to a world of fun. Families, of all sizes, were enjoying all the possibilities of fun.

In "Kew Gardens," the narrator follows different visitors to the gardens, giving the reader brief snapshots of their lives through small descriptions as they reach the same flowerbed. The story begins with a description of the oval-shaped flowerbed. The flowers are red, yellow, and blue. They have petals that are heart or tongue shaped.
