The goal of this paper is twofold. First, we study the figure and work of the medicine doctor and naturalist Ángel Guirao Navarro, head of the Secondary School of Murcia. This versatile teacher played an important role in the development of scholar spaces for the practical teaching of Natural History by contributing with natural objects collected by him or acquired by the Secondary School of Murcia. We also analyse the pedagogical materials for this teaching such as: textbooks, herbarium and wall papers.On the other hand, we study the space used for the practical teaching of botany and agriculture. The role of Ángel Guirao in the development of the Botanical Garden was key for it to become one of the most complete educative gardens of Spain with the construction of glass greenhouses, shade structures, one teaching pavilion, as well as the acquisition of plants and seeds provided by the Botanical Garden of Valencia, the Royal Botanic Garden of Madrid and the Agronomic Institute of La Moncloa.
