Science Series: Cracking the Code on Endangered Plants

Understanding how to grow plants—and helping them thrive—is one of the most powerful tools for protecting the plant diversity that surrounds us. Join Longwood Director of Conservation Horticulture and Collections Peter Zale, Ph.D., as he reveals how horticultural expertise fuels the preservation of rare and endangered species, from local landscapes to global ecosystems. Some of these plants may even be familiar from your walks through our Gardens. Explore how Longwood leads, collaborates, and integrates these practices behind-the-scenes, throughout our Gardens, and beyond, and discover how your own garden can become part of a larger story of stewardship and enduring beauty. Longwood Gardens is one of the great gardens of the world, bringing joy and inspiration to everyone through the beauty of nature, conservation, and learning. Visit us: longwoodgardens.org
