Visit to the Greenhouses of the Geneva Conservatory and Botanical Gardens

Discover the work of the Botanical Garden by following in the footsteps of Jeanne Baret, the first woman botanist to travel the world!

In our living collections, we'll discover how to collect and press a plant, and dive into the greenhouses to unravel the mysteries of growing tropical plants in our latitudes.

In the herbarium, we'll see the original samples collected by Jeanne and her companion Philibert Commerçon during their voyage, and learn how herbarium plates are assembled and preserved.

Get ready to discover the plant world, through the eyes of botanists past and present, who collect, preserve, describe and name nature's treasures!
