Botany is epic. Journey with a team of intrepid Kew scientists beyond the Arctic Circle, into the far north of Sweden, to save seeds from wild Arctic plants. Kew’s Millennium Seed Bank at Wakehurst is a Noah’s Ark for plant life - collecting and storing seeds ensures that plants are safe and available to future generations. Arctic regions have warmed nearly three times as fast as the rest of the planet. That’s why it’s essential that we safeguard Arctic plants - now.

Such a worthwhile endeavour on behalf of all life on this stunning planet. As someone who grew up in Gothenburg and lived in London, I am honoured to still be a member of The Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew, supporting this tremendously vital Research and conservation. Wakehurst is an absolute gem of a place! Ta!
