Conservation

The key to Atlanta Botanical Garden's Conservation Program is using low-cost restoration and recovery techniques, and to work directly with local landowners and any relevant agencies, botanical institutes and organizations.

The success of the program is based on the high level of horticultural and botanical expertise of its staff members, their dedication to each project and their ability to work on a variety of different levels - local, national or international.

The heart of the native plant conservation program at the Atlanta Botanical Garden is the Conservation Support Greenhouse where newly propagated endangered native plants are nurtured.

Native plants used in Atlanta Botanical Garden plant recovery projects around the Southeast are cultivated here. The plant nursery provides a place to grow them to maturity before transplanting them back in the field.

Visitors are able to see and gain a better understanding of the conservation and restoration work that Atlanta Botanical Garden has been conducting since 1989.
