Abstract

The garden's curator delivered a talk that underscored the shifting priorities of botanic gardens and their growing influence on conservation, scientific research, and public education. This article explains the explore the role of botanic gardens as living laboratories for climate research, for education for sustainability and a potential role as a canvas to explore STEAM subjects (Art being arts and design in the attempt to compliment the unconscious bias to Science, Technology, Engineering and Math).
