SpecimensNatural History Museum of Utah - Garrett Herbarium

We have a new transcription method please review the new tutorial.

The Garrett Herbarium has the most complete collection of plant specimens from the Wasatch Mountains and Salt Lake Valley, providing a historic baseline to measure historical and recent changes in plant diversity of the region.
Our plant collections are kept secured from pests and exposure to light as well as free of of chemical treatments, and have never been chemically fumigated, providing researchers a potential source for plant genetic analysis.
