About

Learn about our mission to document and share the beauty and science of botanical gardens worldwide.

Our Approach to Botanical Documentation

Our mission centres on systematic observation, recording and dissemination of information about plant collections, garden landscapes and associated scientific research through transparent, methodologically rigorous practices. We acknowledge diverse botanical contexts and the collaborative nature of preserving and communicating botanical knowledge. This ongoing documentation effort depends on contributions from many sources, and the resulting records serve as a resource for understanding botanical gardens. Such work benefits from continuous study and shared expertise.

Our Mission

At Kew Green, we are dedicated to documenting and sharing the beauty and science of botanical gardens worldwide. Our mission is to create a comprehensive digital archive that celebrates the diversity of plant life and the vital role botanical gardens play in conservation, research, and education.

  • Documenting rare and endangered plant species
  • Sharing horticultural knowledge and best practices
  • Promoting global collaboration among botanical gardens

Through our efforts, we aim to inspire a deeper appreciation for the natural world and support the critical work of botanical gardens in preserving our planet’s biodiversity.
