Have you a palm tree in your garden? (Climate change and the changing face of the English garden)

Growing from seeds
Fill a seed tray with standard seed growing compost and firm the compost down. Sow the seeds into the surface and cover the seeds by sprinkling or sieving on some compost. Water the seed tray using a fine mist sprayer - this will ensure compost is moist, but not water-logged. Keep a daily check on the new seeds for signs of growth, remembering to keep the compost moist. When seedlings appear, remove cover and place tray in a well lit area.
