The plant collections at Highstead provide conservation and educational value to our visitors while the landscapes in which they are displayed yield visual aids for understanding and interpreting the geological setting, environment, and land-use history of southern New England. Collections that are well documented and complete as possible for this temperate climate offer additional opportunities for scientific inquiry for professionals. They also enable Highstead to participate in a network of institutions that curate and preserve plants worldwide.
