The living collections in our three botanic gardens (Adelaide, Mount Lofty and Wittunga) and Botanic Park incorporate a diverse range of threatened species.
There are around 1,000 species - which are rare or endangered in their country of origin - growing in our gardens' living collections.
By having them in our collection, we act as a botanical ark, preserving genetic diversity and offering insights into how they grow under a different climate or geographic conditions.
We nurture Australia's largest collection of Corpse Flower, the famously smelly Indonesian plant.
Explore plant species from South Australia's outback, many of which are threatened with extinction.
The Palm House in Adelaide Botanic Garden contains a living collection of Madagascan plants that are under threat.
