Plant Exploration with a Purpose

Travel the world through plants with Scott McMahan of the Atlanta Botanical Garden. As Manager of the International Plant Exploration Program, Scott brings firsthand insight from decades of global plant discovery, sharing stories from expeditions across Asia, the Americas, and beyond.

In this engaging lecture, Scott explores how plants are discovered, collected, and shared among botanical institutions worldwide, and how international collaboration helps shape the gardens we enjoy today. Guests will gain a deeper appreciation for the role plant exploration plays in conservation, horticulture, and the ever-evolving beauty of public gardens.
