A BOTANICAL BOOST

The Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh is to carry out an ambitious £70m initiative. They intend to safeguard Scotland’s priceless national plant collections and future-proof its status as a world-leading centre for plant science, education, horticulture and conservation. Stateof-the-art facilities will underpin the garden’s core activities, while the visitor experience will be enhanced through the refurbishment and extension of the public glasshouses. The Edinburgh Biomes project will keep Scotland as a global leader in plant science.
