The conservation work of the Millennium Seed Bank

Paul Smith, Head of Kew's Millennium Seed Bank Project, outlines the work Kew is doing around the world and explains how vital this is in the bid to rescue and conserve rare plants. Two-hundred year old seeds collected by a Dutch merchant and discovered recently in the National Archives have been brought back to life, illustrating the value of the Seed Bank's work for future generations.
