The Garden ~ Horticulture
Curation
Just as an art museum can tell you how many Monets it owns and
where a visitor can find them, our garden strives to keep track
of its collections of plants. However, a botanic garden is a museum
of living collections and is therefore always changing and growing.
As plant museum professionals, we follow policies for adding plants
to our Collections, maintaining records, labeling and mapping the
plants in the garden. Because the collections are living plants,
it is important to inventory periodically.
After the inventory, we know what we have in the garden and then
can use that information for deciding how we want to develop our
Collections.
Volunteers are key to the success of the Horticulture program
