Wakehurst - Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew -The Mansion

 Elizabethan Residence

The Mansion was purchased by Gerald Loder in 1903. Gerald -Lord Wakehurst was a passionate plantsman and helped sponsor many collecting expeditions at the turn of the century, particularly to eastern Asia. He was particularly interested in Southern Hemisphere plants and built up an outstanding collection from South America, Australia and New Zealand.
