Plant Exploration in Tanzania

Longwood Gardens’ historic plant exploration program started as an effort to bring new plants into horticulture and has evolved to support a network of plant conservation and research programs around the world.
Hear from Associate Director of Conservation Horticulture and Plant Breeding Peter Zale, Ph.D., for a photographic and informational journey that details the process of our recent expedition to study and document the flora of tropical east Africa in Tanzania. Along the way, learn how plant exploration helps to contribute to displays at Longwood, original scientific research, and global plant conservation efforts.
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.
