Building Collections: The Heart & Soul of Botanical Gardens
Building collections is certainly one of the most compelling aspects of botanical garden management and curatorial practice. Join Timothy Hohn, author of Curatorial Practices for Botanical Gardens, for this 90-minute interactive online workshop to review the tenets of building collections and take a closer look at need assessments as well as the receipt of acquisitions and their sources. Included in those reviews will be collections value scoring, gap analysis, biosecurity, provenance, and important caveats regarding exchanges and field collections.
