The Botanical Gardens and Museum plays a major role in protecting the canton’s flora by listing its rare plants and threatened species. Established in 1824, their mission is to conserve Vaud’s botanical collections. The museum’s collection includes ferns, flowering plants, algae, moss, lichen, fungi, seeds and pollen, along with portraits of historical botanists and herbaria, manuscripts and archives. The museum’s library contains roughly 35,000 titles and more than 800 specialist periodicals. Lausanne’s botanical garden, a hill covered in flowers and large trees, contains 6,000 plants from around the world.
