New England Botanic Garden at Tower Hill

The New England Botanic Garden at Tower Hill will implement a collections inventory and mapping project to strengthen the management and care of their plant records and improve staff access to information about their living plant collections. The garden will hire a full-time plant recorder to complete a full inventory of the woody and conservatory plant collections; reconcile the plant records database with the findings from the inventory; complete verification of cultivars; map each accession; facilitate the launch of a web portal; engrave and mount tags on each accession; and update display labels. As a result, the garden will improve its collection management and make the collection accessible to researchers and students in the field of horticulture.
