HORTICULTURE
Documenting the Gardens’ Plant Holdings
As the Pinecrest Gardens’ identity has grown, matured and accumulated many decades of ornamental horticultural history and unique public display, the horticultural team has cultivated a long-term strategy for collections management that includes identifying and inventorying the Garden’s display plants. Through grant funding and private donations, the staff will begin the intensive effort for comprehensive plant identification and inventory. The multi-year program aims to compile basic plant information and geographic information system (GIS) location for each plant order to implement a plant records database.
Through these efforts to document the Gardens’ plant holdings, the horticultural staff will gain new efficiencies and capabilities to readily identify the many plants that they work with. The Gardens will be beta-testing a new botanical database in the upcoming year, one that is expected to make plant information to the public available online. The information being compiled for the database will also facilitate the production of accurate informational signage to be displayed throughout the Gardens. The collection data will also support the development of horticultural programming for the public.
