The European Artistic Crafts Days: Creating herbarium specimens

Still relatively unknown, the work of an herbarium preparer contributes to deepen our knowledge of living organisms in order to better protect them.

True library of biodiversity, the Geneva Botanic Garden herbarium is one of the most important in the world.

Constantly evolving, this collection is enriched each year with new specimens assembled by herbarium preparators using the same timeless techniques and methods as those employed when the first herbaria were created in the 16th century.
