The Millennium Seed Bank at Wakehurst hides a staggering underground collection of over 2.4 billion seeds from around the world in flood, bomb and radiation-proof vaults, banking them to conserve them for the future.
With two in five plant species at risk of extinction, it’s a race against time to protect our incredible plant life.
We're joined by very special guest Ted Chapman, UK Conservation Partnerships Coordinator, who will introduce us to the wonders of the Millennium Seed Bank and its vital work in research, conservation and tree production.
He also shares insights from the UK National Tree Seed Project and the MSB's ongoing work to create a comprehensive, genetically-representative collection of the UK’s trees and shrubs.
