It contains 90% of the different ecological habitats in found in Zimbabwe. The name of the man who set up the Zimbabwe Botanical Garden is Hiram Wild who at the time was the head of the SRGH (Southern Rhodesian Government Herbarium). He appointed Tom Muller from Switzerland as the first curator 1961/1962. At this time the herbarium was an old building that eventually moved to new, custom built premises in the National Gardens (circa 1967). By then Bob Drummond was in-charge as Dr. Wild had moved to the university as professor of Plant Taxonomy. (en)
