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
