In Search For the Next Darwin

-C. Paula de los Angeles

Wonder why we saw so many school children while we are at the Kew?

Kew Gardens is in search for the next Charles Darwin and has created The Great Plant Hunt in collaboration with the Wellcome Trust to get primary school children excited about nature.

To commemorate Darwin's bicentennial birthday, the Kew is sending the UK’s 22,000 state maintained primary schools "a treasure chest full of free resources to be used in the classroom, online and in the great outdoors".

Wow!
