To mark the Year of Natural Scotland Nick visits the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh to celebrate our plantlife and the efforts of RBGE to protect it. iCONic is a project to create a living gene bank of threatened conifers, by collecting seed in native forests around the world. The seeds are then grown at the RGBE before being planted out in special groves in Perthshire. These new collections will contain a wealth of genetic diversity, and can be drawn on in the future to help restore depleted forests around the world.
