IrisBG

IrisBG’s story began in 1996 when Øyvind Rustan (Compositae AS) developed the first version of our software in close collaboration with the Botanical Garden, University of Oslo, Norway. Leveraging over 25 years of experience in botanical data management, IrisBG is trusted by leading botanical gardens, arboreta and research institutions worldwide. Explore the IrisBG Community map. 

IrisBG’s robust platform offers user-friendly recording and mapping capabilities for accession records using any device. Verify taxa names with trusted scientific sources and store images, video and audio files. We also offer data sharing and integration support with other initiatives and software, such as ArcGIS, Darwin Core and BGCI’s data tools. 

We are proud to be members of BGANZ, an organization whose values of effective conservation, biodiversity protection, restoration and public education align perfectly with ours. BGANZ and IrisBG have recently partnered to combine IrisBG’s expertise in plant collections management and curation with BGANZ’s purpose to uplift botanic gardens, nurturing a deeper appreciation for plants, and fostering plant conservation. 

We invite you to our free, monthly IrisBG Coffee Chat, an informal virtual space where new developments within the worldwide botanical community are shared. Sign up for the IrisBG newsletter to receive an invitation.
