The Garden's Horticulture Program
Living Plant Museum
Just as an art museum can tell you how many Monets it owns and
where a visitor can find them, we are curators, keeping track of
the collections.
CURATION
Growing Plants
In our greenhouse and cold frames, we propagate plants for our
collections and plant sales.
We collect
seed from the wild
, propagate by cuttings and division (our current seed
list).
PROPAGATION
Maintenance
Staff and volunteers join in caring for the garden: weeding, raking,
watering and planting - the glue that holds this unique and diverse
garden together.

The Horticulture
Program Mission:
Our horticultural mission is to conserve, maintain and develop
the collections and grounds of The Berry Botanic Garden using management
techniques that benefit wildlife habitat and have minimal effect
on the environment. Continuing the legacy of Rae Selling Berry,
we focus on growing unique plants in suitable microclimates.
