Connected with the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew, Wakehurst is the home of the Millennium Seed Bank. It is also a haven for wildlife among the extensive gardens, wetlands and woodland areas. <\/p>\n<p>Today was really an excuse to check it out for future visits. I&#39;ve been once before (to the Seed Bank), but had not had a chance to explore. I&#39;ll certainly be returning (I purchased a season ticket on the way out). The highlight today were the moorhens with their young (which were much taken with walking over the lily pads!).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/08\/wakehurst_2908076312.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img SRC=\"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/08\/wakehurst_2908076312.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><span class=\"aligncenter\">The lake<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/08\/wakehurst_moorhen_2908076216.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img SRC=\"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/08\/wakehurst_moorhen_2908076216.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><span class=\"aligncenter\">Young moorhen with huge feet<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/08\/wakehurst_moorhen_2908076218.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img SRC=\"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/08\/wakehurst_moorhen_2908076218.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><span class=\"aligncenter\">Whoops!
