BBG’s plant conservation programs are multifaceted, with numerous opportunities for engaging the public and citizen volunteers. Aspects of our plant conservation programs, all of which are presented in an educational context for our volunteers, include: Field Work: population monitoring, seed and cutting collection, habitat management, invasive plant eradication; Greenhouse Work: propagation, potting, weeding, watering; Collections Work: a full range of gardening activities in BBG’s living collections of native plants in the Kaul Wildflower Garden and Barber Alabama Woodlands; Planting Out: reintroduction of BBG-propagated plants into suitable habitats, monitoring and follow-up care; Applied Research: propagation methods, cultural methods and protocols; Education: tours, presentations, lectures, demonstrations, posters and print and on-line content offered free of charge to various audiences from children to adults, from amateurs to professionals.
