27,000 taxa… in one place
Is a lot of plants! Please excuse the dust from our keyboards and plant archives as we are working on this page.
Plant database – coming soon!
Please excuse what is a work in progress, but it is our hope to eventually direct all Juniper Level Botanic Garden (JLBG) label QR code scans to a resource where you can get more information about each plant. Creating a searchable database for 27000 plants is a massive undertaking. Please send chocolates to our IT staff to help speed up the process.
In the meantime…
