A botanical garden is not like a regular garden or park - in fact, it is a living museum exhibition. The plants growing in our botanical garden are in reality a part of our scientific collections, along with the mounted animals, the rocks and minerals, and the pressed plants inside the museum.
Each plant in the botanical garden has a known origin - we know where it was collected, when it arrived at the museum, and how it ended up here. Some plants are collected by workers at the museum. However, many of our plants are grown from seeds we have received from botanical gardens around the world.
