Others tend plant life from a specific area of the world, such as Japan. Many botanical gardens grow trees, plants and shrubs for scientific and educational purposes. Others cultivate plant life for exhibition. Most botanical gardens are open to the public. All botanical gardens document and label the plants they grow.
