Friends at Wakehurst

On Thursday Wakehurst sold off some of their surplus plants to employees, I could not resist although most will be going down to Cornwall for my aunts gardens. The large tomato however will sit on the back steps in Brighton.

Above Lindsay and Rose caught up in the chaos of the sale. Lindsay is a Canadian working at the seed bank, when the two of us get together we have been accused of being noisy since we laugh and joke a lot (just being Canadian). Rose is a researcher from South Africa working on Galanthus and puts up with us, more Lindsay than me since she works closely with her, with good humour. In the background is Tom, a graduate of the plant conservation program at Sussex and now working on his PhD at the seed bank.
