BGANZ would like to thank Australian National Botanic Gardens our Gold Sponsor for their ongoing support. Inspiring, informing and connecting people with the Australian flora The Australian National Botanic Gardens maintains a scientific collection of native plants from all parts of Australia.

The plants are displayed for the enjoyment and education of visitors and are used for research into plant classification and biology. A herbarium of preserved plant specimens is closely associated with the living collection. The Gardens also cultivates plants threatened in the wild. This helps protect them against extinction and provides information which might assist re-introduction to their natural habitat.

Victorian State Government: Growing Victoria's Botanic Gardens grants program

Victorian State Government

The Growing Victoria’s Botanic Gardens grants program was an initiative of the Victorian Government in 2019 to enhance the botanic gardens across Victoria with grants to eligible gardens and projects.

The Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP) delivered the grants program to assist botanic garden managers to adapt to climate change, maintain valuable plant collections, improve amenities for the community and support local tourism development.

BGANZ received $171,000 from Round Two of this program in 2021. This has allowed the successful roll out of the Hortis (Botanical Software) plant record management system to 22 Victorian botanic gardens. The system will greatly enhance the accuracy of collections across the state and has the potential to extend to all gardens.

Visit https://www.premier.vic.gov.au/funding-boost-our-precious-botanic-gardens for more information.

Excess funds from this grant are being used to develop a Living Collections Toolkit, in a collaboration between BGANZ Victoria and BCARM. The toolkit will support regional botanic
gardens to better manage their living collections through an online/interactive resource hosted on the BGANZ website. Initially available to Victorian members, the toolkit will later be
released to all members.

Climate Change Alliance of Botanic Gardens

CCABG

In December 2018, people from a diversity of cultures, languages, and organisations from around the world responded to the global impacts of climate change to attend the botanical world’s first Climate Change Summit in Australia and form the Climate Change Alliance of Botanic Gardens (Alliance).

The current growing membership comprises over 65 botanical organisations, gardens and arboreta from across the world including peak industry bodies: Botanic Gardens Conservation International (BGCI), International Association of Botanic Garden (IABG), Botanic Gardens Australia and New Zealand (BGANZ) and the American Public Gardens Association (APGA).

By joining the Alliance, Botanic Gardens and similar organisations around the world will have access to a global network of Botanic Gardens and Arboreta, Botanic Gardens Associations, scientists, horticulturists and friends of Alliance who are working together to protect their Gardens and the plants of the world. Through information sharing and increased influence, Alliance will continue to be the change that the world needs to see.

According to Dr Dave Kendal from the University of Tasmania, in the next 50 years, 20-50% of current plant species in botanic gardens and urban landscapes will likely confront temperatures those species have never experienced before.

The time for action is now: please consider joining the Alliance so collectively we can make a real difference with climate change action to safeguard plant collections, landscapes and biodiversity.

Please find the details below as how to join online for free—it is an easy process. There are no impossible obligations expected from you—just a commitment to the principles of the Charter of the Alliance and associated climate change action. Your small or large actions are all valuable!
