Join us for an enlivening conversation as we warm-up for the main Content Rising gathering (12th June) and get to know more about our amazing venue: the Millennium Seed Bank and the gardens at Kew Wakehurst.

During this 75 minute session we'll hear from the team at Kew Wakehurst who will share their stories and knowledge about:

• Landscape as a narrative; planting with purpose - Iain Parkinson, Head of Horticulture & Landscapes

• Landscapes as a living laboratory; unlocking the benefits of nature - Phil Wilkes, Nature Unlocked Research Lead

• Seeds of hope; celebrating 25 years of Kew's wild seed bank at Wakehurst - Elinor Bremen, Senior Research Leader at the Millennium Seed Bank

• Communicating our story; what’s easy, what’s challenging - Marilena Reina, Head of Marketing & Strategic Communications

With a chance to explore more deeply and ask questions.
