In addition to his many botanical projects, the major achievements of Charles Baehni (1906-1964), the post-war director of the Geneva Botanical Garden, were the standardisation of the Conservatoire botanique's collections. A tropical botanist who saw himself as the ambassador of French botany in Switzerland, his successor Jacques Miège (1914-1993) was the great builder of the Geneva Botanical Garden during the Glorious Thirty.

Follow the presentation dedicated to Charles Baehni and Jacques Miège.

This guided tour is part of the “Variations botaniques” series and complements "Our Illustrious Scientists", an exhibition included in COLLECTOR and dedicated to the great names in botany who have marked the history of the Geneva Botanical Garden and whose remarkable contributions to our collections are on display to mark the 200th anniversary of the Conservatoire.
