The Herbarium

Here is the digital copy of my California native plants herbarium which can all be found on Menlo School’s campus. The physical version of this project is housed in Ms. Buxton’s Biology classroom… go check it out!

What is a herbarium?

A herbarium is a cross between a museum of plants to browse and a warehouse of their birth certificates. While a herbarium is for observing, learning, and admiring plants, it is also a way to store record for taxonomy purposes and evolutionary biology.
