Abstract

Botanic gardens are more than just a collection of plant specimens; they also provide important roles within leisure, conservation, environmental education and scientific research. The botanic garden of Caracas contains a living collection of over 200,000 plants, which represents 2000 different species. Originally, the collection comprised of native Venezuela plants and then expanded through scientific expeditions, exchanges and donations from collectors. Caracas botanic garden facilities include a library and herbarium.
