BOTANIST
Botany, plant science(s), phytology, or plant
biology is a branch of biology, the scientific
study of plant life. Botany covers a wide range
of scientific disciplines that study plants,
algae, and fungi including: structure, growth,
reproduction, metabolism, development, diseases,
and chemical properties and the evolutionary
relationships between the different groups.
The study of plants and botany began with tribal
lore, used to identify edible, medicinal and
poisonous plants, making botany one of the oldest
sciences. From this ancient interest in plants,
the scope of botany has increased to include the
study of over 550,000 kinds or species of living
organisms.

BOTANICAL
GARDENS
Botanical gardens grow a wide variety of plants
primarily categorized and documented for scientific
purposes. Botanists and horticulturalists tend the
flora and maintain the garden's library and herbarium
of dried and documented plant material.
Botanical gardens may also serve to entertain and
educate the public, upon whom many depend for funding.
However, not all botanical gardens are open to the
public: for example the Chelsea Physic Garden.
According to the Botanic Gardens Conservation
International, "Botanic gardens are institutions
holding documented collections of living plants
for the purposes of scientific research,
conservation, display and education."
