Contribute to the next issue of Roots

The next issue of Roots will focus on education and technology. As this issue goes to press, most botanic gardens around the world are being impacted by the spread of the coronavirus Covid-19. With many gardens closed to the public, and remote working being required, educators are having to find new and innovative ways of connecting with visitors and we would like to hear about then. We are currently looking for a variety of contributions including articles, education resources and a profile of an inspirational garden staff member..
