Description

Wakehurst’s identity as a botanic garden is rooted in the rigour of its horticulture, conservation, and scientific research. The proposed Silk Road Steppe Landscape builds on this foundation, reinforcing Wakehurst’s global reputation as a leading site for ecologically inspired horticulture. The Silk Road conjures a sense of mystery, adventure, and cultural exchange. Spanning over 800 km of ancient trade routes between Europe and Asia, it traverses mountains, expansive steppes, bustling cities, and arid deserts. This region is among the most floristically rich and diverse on Earth, yet faces increasing threats from habitat loss, conflict, and industrial agriculture. The Silk Road also tells a compelling story of humanity’s deep-rooted relationship with plants—our reliance on them for food, medicine, and materials. Many of today’s edible, medicinal, and timber species trace their origins to the movement and cultivation of plants along these historic routes. It is this rich cultural and ecological tapestry that has inspired the concept for Wakehurst’s new garden. Estimated value is £1,700,000 including VAT.
