## Notice

This autumn RBG Kew will launch a new addition to our visitor programme - a contemporary festival celebrating Japan through its distinctive culture and connection to nature. We will celebrate Japan through distinct cultural programming and spectacular horticultural displays. The festival will provide a 'must-see' reason to visit Kew in October and will feature a wide range of Japanese cultural programming. There will also be four After Hours events, providing an opportunity for visitors to experience the festival in the evening. Festival themes include: * Celebrating Kew's existing relationship with Japan * Japanese culture is fascinating * The importance of the natural world in Japan As part of the festival, Kew is working closely with the Japanese Embassy and Japan House, and has undertaken focus groups with members of the Japanese community in London to sense-check the authenticity of programming ideas. We are seeking a proposal for an indoor Horticultural Installation which celebrates Japanese plants, showcases horticultural excellence and features an innovative planting design to create a moment of wonder for our visitors.
