GLOBE stands for Global Learning and Outreach network for Botanic Educators. Our vision for the GLOBE network is to grow into an interactive, collaborative platform where botanic educators around the world can exchange resources, insights, and inspiration with like-minded colleagues, ask questions of peers and find opportunities for collaboration. We hope this will become a place where you not only receive information but also contribute your own experiences and materials.

We have two ways that you can get involved with GLOBE:

Sign up to the GLOBE newsletter

In 2025 we launched the GLOBE newsletter, this is a quarterly e-newsletter, where we share news and updates from BGCI’s education team, as well as key highlights from our education community.

Join our GLOBE LinkedIn Group 

During the 11th International Congress on Education in Botanic Gardens (ICEBG), in June 2025 in South Korea, we also launched our GLOBE LinkedIn page as a hub for our community. 

GLOBE the future

The LinkedIn group and newsletter are just the start of our plans for GLOBE. As part of our 2026-2030 strategy under our “Strengthen the Network” topic we want to build GLOBE into a dynamic platform that allows educators across gardens to connect, collaborate and share. We have been having lots of discussions around what this might look like and how we support at the local right up to international. Watch this space for more!
