Botanical gardens grow a wide variety of . According to the Botanic Gardens Conservation International , "Botanic gardens are institutions holding documented collections of living plants for the purposes of scientific research, conservation, display and education." RESEARCH From the late 18th Century onward, Europe an botanical gardens began sending plant-collecting expeditions to various parts of the world and publishing their findings. Voyages of exploration routinely included botanists for this purpose. Subsequent scientific work studied how these exotic plants might be adapted to grow in the garden's locale, how to Classify them, and how to Propagate rare or Endangered Species . The Royal Botanic Gardens in Kew , near London , has continuously published journals and more recently catalogues and databases since this time. EDUCATIONAL WORK Educational projects at botanical gardens range from introductions to plants that thrive in different environments to practical advice for the home gardener. Many have plant shops, selling flower, herb, and vegetable seedlings suitable for transplantation. Some gardens such as the UBC Botanical Garden And Centre For Plant Research and the Chicago Botanic Garden have plant breeding programs and introduce new plants to the Horticultural trade. |
