Call for Support

BGCI was extremely impressed by the applications submitted to the Global Botanic Garden Fund. It is a testament to the quality of applications and the clear need for continued and additional support to the botanic garden community.

BGCI will continue to look for additional funding for the Global Botanic Garden Fund, but it is clear that there is a demand for these grants and a need to support them in order to achieve global goals in plant conservation. BGCI thanks those already supporting the Global Botanic Garden Fund and are pleased to share the impact of their contributions.
