The National Herbarium is one of the largest collections of its kind in the world, we receive hundreds if not thousands of specimens each week, and creating labels for the Seeds of Success vouchers are really beyond our staff capabilities. A lack of a proper label endangers the scientific value of a voucher and risks wasting many hours and resources of the Seeds of Success participants if a voucher were to be lost or incorrectly attributed.
