"Throughout history, plant hunters have been venturing on expeditions to uncover new botanical treasures. As European naturalists began to explore the world in the 18th and 19th centuries, they were captivated by the mysteries of nature. Among them was the 19th-century botanist Richard Spruce, who dedicated his life to the study of seemingly unremarkable plants like mosses and liverworts. These plant hunters of the Victorian era brought back exotic specimens to transform British gardens, and their passion for botany continues to inspire today. In the pursuit of discovering new species, these adventurers faced danger and brought back beautiful plants and ideas that still influence garden design today."
