We have a special eco-friendly tool at Wakehurst that helps us collect wildflower seeds from our Bloomers Valley.

And the best part is it does this job without cutting, flattening or harming plants and insects.

Say hello to our brush harvester.

Brush harvesting seed is a great way to restore and recreate wildflower grasslands. 

Watch the video below to see our Loder Valley Nature Reserve Warden Steven Robinson in brush harvesting action and discover how it works for the conservation of our native flowers and grasses...
