Editorial reading
Editorial interpretation: the relationship between living plants and preserved material offers a way to read this garden as an institution of knowledge. A collection can be considered through what it conserves as well as what it displays.
Recommendation
Explore the living garden as the publicly presented part of this botanical institution. Consult its current visitor information for particular collections or glasshouses; the scientific library, archives and biological banks mentioned here are not a promise of visitor access.
