    The scientist Conrad Gessner (1516-1565) cultivated his own garden in Zurich. His garden fulfilled various functions: the production of medicinal herbs, the study of foreign species, as a vegetable garden and as an ornamental garden. In the Gessner garden, the plants that he assigned to the various functions are shown in separate beds.
