Ardingly: Wakehurst 
Description
The site is owned by the National Trust, but is leased to the Royal Botanical Gardens, Kew as their out of town site for wild planting and gardens, as well as more of their tree collections. At the time of visiting the house was undergoing major renovation and covered in scaffolding, which had been opened up into a viewing platform allowing for spectacular views across the gardens and down onto the roof of the house. The gardens also house the Millennium seed bank, a collection of seeds from around the world held in reserve to try and repopulate plants should they go extinct in the wild.
