As a volunteer in the garden it's very rewarding to see the results of your work - especially when the seedlings were as tiny as these

These seedlings were pricked out 2 weeks ago, and were almost too small to handle. The seeds were collected in Australia by the Curator last year, so even more pressure to get them to grow!
