Since its opening in 1931, the Zurich Succulent Plant Collection has developed into a centre of excellence with global appeal. It combines horticultural expertise, extensive research activities around topics involving its plant and herbarium holdings, and sound knowledge transfer, supported by a specialised library.

Visitors from around the globe find a haven of tranquillity and inspiration at the collection. All this is owed to a long history of social, scientific and technological developments. This focus topic takes a look back at this history, examines its influence on our current practices and sets its sights on future challenges – seeking throughout to subject our own work to reflection.
