Today on #RemembranceSunday we remember all of the veterans who lost their lives in service to their nation.
The Garden was affected by WWI & WWII. Many of the men working at the Garden left for service and women substituted for men, as they did throughout the country. In 1918 war poet, Wilfred Owen, spent one of his last afternoons in England at the Garden. He soon returned to Flanders where he would tragically die three months later, just one week before the signing of the Armistice, which ended the war. He’s remembered to have spent a happy summer afternoon at the Garden.

Robin chick fledging in a Glasshouse
Our Plant Records Manager Lucy captured this charming video of a baby robin learning to fly in one of the Garden's Glasshouses. The flight feathers are the last to grow on a robin chick, and when they fledge 14 days after hatching they are not yet able to fly. The young will continue to be looked after by their parents for up to 3 weeks after fledging, this is often left to the male as the female will be preparing herself for the next brood! It has been known for robins to have up to 4 broods in one year.
