Conservation, research, and reference collections (living, library, and herbarium) assembled through discovery and collaboration.
Research in botany, ethnobotany, horticulture, conservation biology, and restoration ecology through programs and institutes.
Educational courses, publications, lectures, and visitor programs.
Facilities and infrastructure necessary to conduct this work.
