Herbarium: Ben Gilbert Collection
The Nursery Shed houses a valuable Herbarium, which includes the Ben Gilbert Collection (132 specimens). These were collected from Ben’s property in Cawdor during the 1970s and donated to the Friends of Peacehaven in 2010 by Jean Gundry. In 2025, Bernadette Sear undertook a project to digitize the collection as part of her degree at University of Southern Queensland. This photobook is the result.
