Botanic gardens in NZ
Botanic gardens play a major role in plant conservation in New Zealand. They provide a primary interface between people and nature in a largely urban environment. Botanic gardens are:
- Expert growers of native plants and undertake research on germination and propagation
- Involved in plant species recovery work
- Ex-situ repositories for native plants
- A showcase for native plants and how they may be used in horticulture and urban amenity plantings
- Leaders in native plant education
