Please note:

The Go Wild Festival ran at Kew and Wakehurst place for the summer of 2003. As such many of the festival features can no longer be seen in the gardens, but this website has been kept to give visitors access to wealth of information developed to support the festival.

Don't forget to check out the latest events in the gardens. Find out more......

Millennium Seed Bank

A Millennium Commission Project

On throughout the festival, at Wakehurst Place

The first phase of this £80m international initiative was to safeguard Britain’s heritage of wild flowers. We are the first country to store our native plant seeds as an insurance against extinction. Outside The Wellcome Trust Millennium Building the parterre beds represent many of the best loved, yet most threatened, plant habitats.
