Discover the Plant Hunters

Scotland has, over the last two hundred years or so produced some of the worlds most successful Plant Hunters.

 

This unique garden celebrates their fascinating lives and their amazing contribution to the way our gardens look today. Explorers: The Scottish Plant Hunters Garden was conceived and built in conjunction with the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh.

Hunters History

The Plant Hunters were not just botanists, they were adventurers and explorers. They had to be tough to survive the conditions they faced in far-flung corners of the world. They survived shipwrecks, sieges and slavery and battled with pirates, escaped convicts and hostile natives.
