Plant Heritage's Missing Collections campaign inspired the concept of "The Missing Collector": a mysterious plant enthusiast who has left behind an extraordinary collection. Vignettes of jewel-toned plants nestled within lush green foliage offer visitors a rare glimpse of this treasured botanical archive. Here, intriguing cultivars of Thalictrum, Polypodium and Aspidistra await discovery alongside "missing" plants such as Verbascum, Deschampsia, and Aquilegia.
Inspired by museum display cases, stone drawers within a raised platform create unusual planting opportunities, while stone pillars frame the space, resembling stacked reference books. An unoccupied chair invites visitors to imagine themselves as collector and guardian, posing the question: "Could you be The Missing Collector?"
