First an intro from our Wakehurst teacher, Sharon
While sitting comfortably in the Millennium Seed Bank
We saw the biggest seed in the world, and the smallest.
Then out in the grounds to ask loads of questions.
And see lots of flowers, here on trees - Magnolia, pollinated by beetles!
Back in the seed bank checking out seed pods
And imagining a world with no plants.
Notes next to the Seychelles nut - biggest seed in the world.
Looking at the new arrivals in the seed bank.
They get prepared for cold, dry storage.
We also see what the scientists are doing.
Lots of seeds have been put out for us so we can see the wide range. Some are very useful, and tasty.
