	 		<description><![CDATA[This year, Kew is taking part in the 'Big Give Christmas Challenge', a campaign to encourage philanthropic giving by matching a donors&rsquo; gift. Effectively your donation to the Millennium Seed Bank Partnership could be doubled! We need to raise &pound;50,000 for next year&rsquo;s seed collecting trips, as well as expanding our work on using existing collections. <strong>Please note: This campaign ran from 6 to 19 December 2012 and has now finished.</strong><br/>
