National Tropical Botanical Garden

National Tropical Botanical Garden (NTBG) is a nonprofit with a vision to restore flourishing relationships between plants, people, and places. We work across a network of botanical gardens, preserves, and research centers in Hawaiʻi and Florida to grow a brighter tomorrow for plants and all they sustain. We do so through a biocultural approach, where Indigenous knowledge, community priorities, and scientific research guide our path forward. The Science and Conservation Programs at National Tropical Botanical Garden supports our mission to enrich life by perpetuating tropical plants, ecosystems, and cultural heritage. Our collections include the largest assemblages of native Hawaiian plant species and breadfruit cultivars in existence, as well as herbarium (PTBG) and a conservation seed bank.
