Herbariums are evocative places. As collections of stored plant material, they offer an insight into the past, present and future of our planet. An invaluable resource for academics and businesses, they are often part of revered institutions, such as botanical gardens and universities.
Housing a vast array of plant material, including seeds, stems, foliage and root matter, herbariums provide an opportunity to look back at specimens and collection data from the past. This provides priceless insight into how plants, climate and topography have changed over time.
