The Garden's Horticulture Program

Living Plant Museum

Just as an art museum can tell you how many Monets it owns and where a visitor can find them, we are curators, keeping track of the collections.
CURATION

Growing Plants

In our greenhouse and cold frames, we propagate plants for our collections and plant sales. We collect seed from the wild , propagate by cuttings and division (our current seed list).
PROPAGATION

Maintenance

Staff and volunteers join in caring for the garden: weeding, raking, watering and planting - the glue that holds this unique and diverse garden together.
MAINTAINING the garden

Volunteers

The Horticulture Program Mission:

Our horticultural mission is to conserve, maintain and develop the collections and grounds of The Berry Botanic Garden using management techniques that benefit wildlife habitat and have minimal effect on the environment. Continuing the legacy of Rae Selling Berry, we focus on growing unique plants in suitable microclimates.
