End the conversation with Miss White and look around the Seed house. Search the Work desk in the corner, to the right of where Margaret is standing. You will find: Navigation book, Gloves, Study book. It's Albert's workplace. Open the Window near his desk.
Leave the Seed house using the second door and head right. You will notice some smoke near the wall - go there to find its source. Near the Fireplace, activate Holmes's talent. Examine the things that were meant to be burnt. Take the Broken pot and rotate it in the close-up mode so that you can see its bottom and examine the Symbol. You will obtain an Evidence: Symbol on a broken pot. Check out the Gas mask and its Singed par. Notice also the Burned broom, Door handle, A piece of plant and Picture frame.
When going back, enter the Dry tropics building and examine the empty Pots in the center of the room. In the close-up mode, rotate one of them so that you can see its bottom. Sherlock will notice that the pots do not belong here (Branded flower pots). Leave the room using the second door, go through the corridor and enter the Waterlily house (the place where the director died). Approach the empty exhibition covered with material and examine the Plants list (Stolen plants list) on the board on the left. Look at the Warning and the Exhibition booth.
Leave through the second door, go through the corridor and enter the Palm house. Go through it, as there is nothing interesting inside. Open the next door and you will reach the vestibule, where Albert is. Go outside.
Head to the square were the flower bed is and try to open the Office door, near the map. Talk to Hamish and ask him about the keys, about Albert and also about Margaret. Next, go to the vestibule of the Palm house again to ask Albert for Keys for Kew Gardens. You will obtain a whole bunch of them, but the one that opens the Cloakroom is not there.
Go back to the Office door and open it with the keys. Enter Dunne's office. Approach the table (in front of you) and examine the Champagne and the Wine on top. Go through the things on the Director's desk. Take one of the Newspapers on the left (article: Kew Garden's success) and a Letter (next to the hat), in which Montague informs Margaret about The break-up. Examine also the Photograph on the shelf to the right of the desk.
Opening the Director's safe
When leaving, take a look at the Director's safe. To open it, you need to rotate the dial 2 fields to the left, then go back to the pointer and rotate the dial 2 fields to the right.
Go back through all the unlocked fields (left) and rotate the dial 3 fields to the left. Go back again, this time to the right, and rotate the dial 3 fields (right).
Go back through all the unlocked (left) and rotate the dial 5 fields (left). Go back again (right) and rotate it 5 fields (right).
From the safe, take out a Letter (Lawyer's help; top shelf; 3 pages), a Letter of complaint (2 pages; middle shelf; an Evidence will appear in the Casebook: The Divine Syndicate) and a Letter from the bottom shelf (Personal loan).
Deduction
Connect "White and Dunne" with "White's expulsion". You will obtain "Disagreement".
Leave the office and use the keys to open the next door in the building. Enter the laboratory. Examine the Protective equipment in the wardrobe. Take a look at the Mask, the Protective cloth and the gloves. Notice the Empty place in the middle.
Go to the center of the room and activate Holmes's talent. Check out the Laboratory table: Wet bottle trace, Drops (on the table and on the floor) and Gold dust.
Examine the University book lying on the fireplace. Read the title and rotate it to check the Name at the bottom. Notice the Chemistry cupboard in the corner, to the right of the fireplace and the Chemistry bottles inside.
Take a look at the Phonograph on your right. You can take one of the Cylinders next to the device, install it on the Phonograph, turn the Handle and listen to the recording. Do the same with the other one. Examine the Table for experiments (in the corner, by the window).
Lastly, try to open the door to the Cloakroom (to the right of the wardrobe). You won't be able to do that, as Holmes doesn't have the key. You need to break in instead.
Opening the door to the Cloakroom
Rotate all downwards so that you can see the big window on the left short cylinder (1A) and the small window on the right one (1B).
Switch (1 click) to the right short cylinder (1B). Match the lines on it with the ones on the left short cylinder (1A) and move it to the left to join the cylinders.
Switch (1 click) to nr 2. Rotate it upwards so that all three windows are fully opened.
Switch (1 click) to nr 3. Rotate it so that the lines in the three windows match the ones on nr 1A, 1B and nr 2.
Enter the Cloakroom and check the contents of each locker. In Albert's locker, examine the Naval architecture book and read the Refusal letter (The Royal Navy's letter of refusal; 2 pages). An Evidence will appear in the Casebook: Albert's hopes. Activate Holmes's talent and examine the Photograph on the left.
In Martyn Hamish's locker, examine the Chemistry books, A letter from Martyn Hamish (Martyn Hamish's ambition; 2 pages), Botanical magazine and Photograph with father, which you should rotate and read the Inscription on the back.
Open Miss White's locker and take White's request (Letter to her family), Diploma and Jewel box. Open it and rotate so that you can see the Jewels inside.
Also take the Letter lying next to the box (Albert's letter to Miss White). Examine the Vanity purse on the right. Rotate it in the close-up mode to see the Letter from the family (Family's reply; 2 pages).

Leave the laboratory and head left, to the Nursery (the first door on the left). Open the door with the key and take a look at the Work desk (on your right). Notice a Glasses case and Martyn Hamish's book. Apparently, it's Hamish's workplace. Open the Window near the desk. Examine the Posters on your right and take a look at the Plant nursery in the center of the room. Leave the room through the other door.
Examine the Bust in a box in the corner of the corridor. Take it and read the Name plate at the bottom. Rotate it slightly and check out the Broken part above the right (from player's perspective) temple. Match the piece of marble that you've found in the Colonial Collection room to the bust.
Enter the next room and examine the New seeds in the center. Leave the room through the other door, which you need to open using a key.
Now, head to the vestibule of the Palm house, where Albert is. Talk to him about his Dream of entering the navy. When the QTE appears, select: Albert's hopes.
Deduction
Connect "Albert's ambition" with "Albert's humiliation". You will obtain "Albert's motive".
Go to the square with the flower bed and talk to Hamish about Kew Gardens (select: Photograph with father in the QTE) and the Bust (select: Fragment from a statue). An Evidence will appear in the Casebook: Marble bust.
Deduction
Connect "Hamish's anger" with "The new director". You will obtain "Hamish's motive".
Use the Map to go to Bakers Street. Approach the bookcase with Encyclopedias (opposite the door) and select: Search "Rare plants, Botany". Find the Botany tab and select: Exotics plants, Vol. 4, Poisonous. A Document will appear in the Casebook: Information on the deadly plants; 2 pages. Leave the close-up mode (Continue).
Look for the symbol that you've seen on the broken pot in the bookcase with Research (to the left of the fireplace). Find the Marks and Symbols tab and select: The Divine Syndicate. An Evidence will appear in the Casebook: Trewan, the god-king. Leave the close-up mode (Continue).
Now, search for the symbol that you've seen on the exhibition pot (in the same tab). Select: London Garden Supplies. Holmes will be able to identify the Suppliers that provide the pots for Kew Gardens. Leave the close-up mode (Continue).
Lastly, in the Newspapers bookcase (to the right of the fireplace), select: Search the case of June 14, 1889 and choose: Scandal at the Divine Syndicate (3 pages). Leave the close-up mode (Continue).
