In the 1830s, East London doctor and amateur
naturalist Dr Nathaniel Bagshaw Ward invented a
sealed glass case, an ecosphere in which plants
could survive heavily polluted air. The Wardian
case was soon being used for the transport of plants
by sea around the world. From garden plants such
as jasmine and rhododendrons to cash crops like
bananas and tea, this simple invention transformed
global economies and environments and shaped the
world we live in.
