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
