Botany Garden and Greenhouse Staff

The Botany Garden and Greenhouse staff provide direct and indirect support for Botany and other UW courses by providing plants material to classes, hosting guided and unguided educational tours, providing horticultural guidance to students conducting class and individual research projects, and by directly mentoring students conducting independent study in staff areas of expertise. We facilitate faculty, staff and student research by providing space, materials, horticultural consultation and plant care services to researchers from the Department of Biology. Researchers from other UW-Madison Departments and other universities also coordinate with Botany Garden and Greenhouse staff to use plant materials from our extensive, world-class living collections.

The Botany Garden and Greenhouse are open to the public. We engage with visitors from campus and the community frequently and directly, and also participate in campus outreach events, allowing the public to experience and visit our living collections outside of normal business hours. In order to provide outstanding living plant collections for teaching, research and outreach to the Department of Botany, UW-Madison, and greater community, we provide exceptional horticultural care for thousands of plants. We provide employment and volunteer opportunities to students who make essential contributions to the fulfillment of our mission.
