About National Tropical Botanical Garden

The National Tropical Botanical Garden is a not-for-profit organization that operates a group of tropical botanical gardens and preserves. Its work spans five gardens and projects across the tropics, guided by a biocultural approach that combines Indigenous knowledge, community priorities, and scientific research. The organization also runs the Breadfruit Institute, which works on breadfruit conservation, study, and use for food and reforestation. Visitors can explore the gardens, and people can join as members, volunteer, or support its programs.
