During 2020 and 2021 local people went on walks, pressed plants
and printed them for this modern day People’s Herbarium which
will join William Wise’s 200 year old plant collection at Lawrence
House Museum. Local business man and Botanist William Wise
cycled around Devon and Cornwall in the 1800’s, collecting plants
to press for his Herbarium. The People’s Herbarium was led by
Artist Explorer, Karen Howse, in partnership with Lawrence House
Museum and Launceston Library.
