Some of the volunteers enjoyed a great day out at Wakehurst place. The azaleas looked glorious and the bluebells in the woodland were wonderful.
It was a little cold but, luckily, the rain held off.
Lunch in the house was nice, but the highlight was undoubtedly a private visit into the millenium seedbank. Wakehurst treated us to a guided tour of their seedbank facility; answering all of our questions and providing a fact-filled and entertaining tour.

The seedlings have been growing nicely in our trays and now is the time for transplanting. Two seed beds full of diminutive plantlets. Ultimately these are our future stock and the plants that will potentially find their way into nature reserves, allotments, woodlands, hedgerows and other sites across Sussex.
By mid-June all the seedlings have been transplanted and now are protected by shade netting until they are more mature.
