Missouri Botanical Garden

The Missouri Botanical Garden will create a collections development module within their living collections management system that will enable them to prioritize and acquire species for the living plant collection. This project addresses the complexity that goes into deciding which plants to acquire based on various criteria such as global rarity and climate suitability, and alignment with the garden's strategic goals. The project team will contract with a software analyst to perform development work and will work with programmers to create the module using input from the horticulturists and management staff. The team will produce the final documentation and train staff on the module, which will result in a modern, comprehensive living collections management system that tracks and maintains their living plant collections.
