Botanical Collections

Botanical collections are organized groups of plant specimens gathered for scientific study and education. These collections can include dried plants, seeds, or living plants cultivated in gardens or greenhouses. They help researchers identify, classify, and understand plant diversity, ecology, and evolution. Botanical collections also support conservation efforts and provide valuable resources for studying climate change, agriculture, and medicine. By documenting plants from different regions, these collections serve as historical records that help scientists track changes in species over time and contribute to our knowledge of the natural world.
