How it works

The Directory of Expertise allows you to identify and contact individuals with expertise related to botanic gardens and plant conservation. You can use the keyword search to search for specific areas of expertise, or use the filters to find experts with specific areas of expertise, expertise in certain regions, the services they offer, and – in some cases – their expertise in specific habitats.

Using the Filter

To use the filter, click the drop down menu and choose the options provided. You can choose more than one option – but this will show all experts with any of the filters chosen not all.

Using the Keyword Search

To use the keyword search, click on the magnifying glass, type out your search criteria, and click search. You can add as many keyword searches as you like.
