Cambridge offers botany course that inspired Darwin after rare archive uncovered University’s botanic garden will use study materials created by John Stevens Henslow, the naturalist’s mentor, 200 years ago

‘As an Anglican clergyman and natural theologian, #Henslow believed studying plants could reveal God’s wisdom and closely observed variations within plant species as he sought to document the infinite extent, utility and magnificence of divine creation.’
