Wakehurst Place

Wakehurst Place was leased by the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew in 1965 from the National Trust. Situated in an 'Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty' on the High Weald of Sussex, its higher rainfall, more moisture retentive soils and range of microclimates complement the conditions at Kew and allow the plant collections to be greatly enhanced
