Botanic gardens have long been hailed as the guardians of biodiversity, preserving our planet's plant species for future generations. Among the myriad challenges, one often overlooked aspect is the power of education in fostering a broader understanding and appreciation of the world of plants.
Plant collections are not mere repositories of plant life; in fact, they are living classrooms where the intricate stories of flora unfold. Education is often essential to a garden's mission. Yet, the significance of teaching record-keeping and the pivotal role of good data often remain understated.
Hortis for Education bridges the gap between knowledge and action by making plant record-keeping accessible to educational institutions worldwide.
