Australia’s National Botanic Gardens (ANBG) is the nation’s largest living collection of Australian native plants. It’s a tranquil setting for walking and spending time with family and friends, and a living classroom for visitors of all ages. The Gardens play a significant role in the conservation and propagation of rare and threatened plants. Our biodiversity science programs–the Australian Biological Resources Study, the Centre for Australian National Biodiversity Research, the National Seed Bank – and Biodiversity Informatics–are partnerships for research, for management of physical and digital biological collections, and for management of fundamental national biodiversity data and information and are accessed nationally and internationally.
The Conservation and Nursery team are dedicated horticulturists working to investigate the propagation and growing requirements of Australian native plants. We grow plants for showcasing in the ANBG as part of the world’s largest collection of Australian flora. We also have an increasing focus on collaborative conservation projects.
