Value enhanced research and conservation
-
The living plant collection, at the core of the work of the Garden, is of global importance in addressing the biodiversity crisis.
Here, we hold in care species that are endangered and even extinct in their natural habitats – many of which are yet to be fully scientifically described and formally named.
By restoring our public and research Glasshouses, we will secure the future of thousands of botanical specimens and continue to provide an internationally renowned resource for researchers in their efforts to mitigate against biodiversity loss and the climate emergency.
By protecting and showcasing some of the Garden’s precious Living Collection of plants, the newly restored spaces - and a specially designed new visitor experience - will inspire awe and wonder in people of all ages.
