The new five-year Strategic Plan for the Botanic Gardens and State Herbarium (BGSH) will focus on boosting scientific research and advancing nature-based tourism initiatives to create destination gardens.
The BGSH Strategic Plan 2017-2022 sets the direction for the Adelaide, Mount Lofty and Wittunga Botanic Gardens, the State Herbarium and the South Australian Seed Conservation Centre.
The plan is underpinned by three strategic focus areas: creating destination gardens, deepening our science, and facilitating lifelong learning and engagement.
The strategic plan priorities will boost scientific research and education and ultimately lead to more visitors across the three gardens.
The five-year plan also outlines opportunities to plan for and develop a new BGSH centre to unify operations, located closer to North Terrace.
The strategic plan of the BGSH Board was last revised in 2011.
Stakeholders including the Adelaide Botanic Garden Foundation and Friends of the Botanic Gardens of Adelaide have been involved in creating the new plan.
