Edinburgh Biomes is potentially the most significant project in the Garden's history. At a time when 40% of the world's plant species are at risk from extinction, our work is more important than ever.
The Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh is embarking upon a radical transformation to secure its continued status as a world-leading centre for plant sciences, horticulture and conservation.
Arguably the most ambitious undertaking of the Garden's 356-year history, the Edinburgh Biomes initiative will secure the future of a unique living plant collection and create unrivalled public outreach opportunities by refurbishing its A-Listed public display houses; investing in its research and educational facilities and creating a new visitor experience.
As guardians of one of the world’s most significant scientific and horticultural resources, we are redeveloping our facilities to sustain RBGE as a leader in plant science, horticulture, biodiversity, education and conservation, and to ensure that our collection thrives for generations to come.
Edinburgh Biomes has been enabled by generous support from our patrons, donors, and supporters, along with investment from the Scottish Government. For more information on how you can support the Biomes project, please contact our Development Team.
