Nature heroes: Seed Seeker
Join us on our first Nature Heroes mission in collaboration with National Geographic Kids!
Get ready for an exciting adventure this October half term as we launch the Nature Heroes Academy in collaboration with National Geographic Kids!
Earn a Seed Seeker badge!
Join our Nature Heroes, Pip, Bud and Sprout, and set off across the gardens, where young explorers will discover their inner scientist to earn the Seed Seeker badge! Seek, spy, spot and sense your way through interactive activities as you journey across Wakehurst’s woodlands to find a seed, just like Kew’s scientists do out in the wild!
Learn more about the fascinating world of seed science in the home of the Millennium Seed Bank – which houses 2.4 billion seeds from across the world!
The first mission of the Nature Heroes Academy, join us next October to earn the second Academy badge, and come back every school holiday for another fun Nature Heroes mission, earning a new badge for your Nature Heroes cape each time.
Join us and seek a seed to save the world!
Children must be accompanied by an adult.
Important information
- Pre booking is essential for all visitors during the dates of the event, including for Wakehurst, Kew and National Trust members. Please pre-book your tickets and the amount of car parking spaces you and your party will need, even if you normally receive free entry. This helps us monitor capacity and ensures we can maintain an enjoyable experience for all.
- Whilst some of the activities as part of the trail can be enjoyed for free, we recommend that children take part in the full paid Seed Seeker activity to have the most fun (and earn a badge, too!)
- Most of the trail takes place along our dog walking route, however the end point is dog free. We'd recommend that you leave your canine companion at home for this adventure to be able to enjoy the full trail.
- This exciting adventure takes place outdoors, come rain or shine! Check the forecast before you travel so that you can arrive prepared – wellies strongly advised.
- There is an additional part of the trail that will be best accessed on foot as it can get quite muddy. This is not an essential activity as part of the main Seed Seeker activity trail, which takes place on fully accessible pathways. If your party would like to complete the additional activity, there will be a designated buggy space so that you can complete this on foot.
