Visitors - Welcome!

Today it is clear; increasing our knowledge of, and appreciation for, Botany and the plant sciences are of critical importance in maintaining human life on our planet. Look around you. The air we breath, food we eat and fuel we use come from plants! Many of the key components used in our medicines, clothing and in constructing our homes also come from plants. Please, take some time and explore our site. You’ll find links to top plant research, career opportunities and a number of resources highlighting the wonder and importance of plants.
