Systematic garden in the Hortus

Young visitors search for members of the pawpaw fruit family. The Systematic Garden in the Hortus botanicus, where plants are organised according to how they are related to one another, has been updated to take account of the latest scientific insights. The information on the noticeboards is intended not just for students and experts, but also for a wide audience and the youngest visitors.
