Webinar Invite: Collaborative Collection Tracking – Simpler, Smarter, Together
Traditionally, the responsibility of keeping records in botanical gardens has fallen to a single dedicated individual, often someone with specialized training and a high tolerance for complex software. But what if tracking the collection could become a shared responsibility?
Join us for a practical session on how botanical gardens are adopting collaborative approaches to collection management, made possible with more intuitive technology. Discover how gardens are transforming their workflows by empowering horticulturists, educators, volunteers, and interns to actively contribute to more up-to-date plant collection information, both in the field and back at the desk.
In this webinar, you’ll hear firsthand how democratizing access to record-keeping has improved accuracy, efficiency, and team engagement at gardens around the world.
Join us at our Pacific Time session to hear insights from two gardens in New South Wales, Australia: North Coast Regional Botanic Garden (Coffs Harbour) and Shoalhaven Heads Native Botanic Garden.
At our Atlantic Time session, we’ll be joined by Botanical Garden of the Piedmont in Virginia, USA, and Helmsley Walled Garden in North Yorkshire, UK.
What we’ll cover:
- The shift from siloed to collaborative data management in botanical collections
- Real-life success stories from gardens using Hortis
- Tips for engaging broader staff and volunteer participation
- A live Q&A with guest speakers and the Hortis team
Whether you're from a small garden looking to modernize your process or a larger institution exploring ways to scale data input across teams, this session is for you.
