The word herbarium refers to the collection of plants preserved or stored in their non-living forms. Similarly, botanical gardens are living herbaria which means botanical gardens preserve or store plants as well but in their living form.
Botanical gardens grow and protect plants in living conditions by providing them all the nutrients.
