Personal

Trees, leaves, seeds

It's been a morning of learning for me. Wakehurst Place - half an hour's drive from Mum's house - is home to the Millennium Seed Bank. So after a walk through the gardens and woods, Emma showed me something not a million miles away from her field of work.

I still don't understand fully how it works, but it's eye-opening to consider the scale of the seed bank project. And it's good to have an expert geneticist as a guide.
