Their network of five botanical gardens, preserves and research facilities encompasses nearly 2,000 acres with locations in Hawaii and Florida. Thousands of species from throughout the tropical world have been gathered, through field expeditions, collaborations with other institutions and researchers, to form a living collection that is unparalleled anywhere.

Their collection includes the largest assemblages of native Hawaiian plant species and breadfruit cultivars in existence. Many of the species in their collections are threatened and endangered or have disappeared from their native habitats. In their preserves and beyond our gardens, NTBG is working to restore habitats and save plants facing extinction.

Their gardens and preserves are living laboratories and classrooms for staff scientists, researchers, students and visitors from all over the world.
