Newsletter: August 2024
Highlights for August include fields for collectors and plant material sex. You can also recap our inspiring time at the 8th Global Botanic Gardens Congress in Singapore. Plus, a new upcoming mapping feature that will allow you to draw bed locations directly on your map!
Support for Collectors and Material Sex
Additional fields have been added to help you record more details for your Wild provenance accessions. This includes collector(s) information, associated taxa, habitat, and remarks. Recording a material’s sex is also now possible – simply enable the sex field from your site’s Settings.
Read our 8th Global Botanic Gardens Congress recap
We had an inspiring time at the 8th Global Botanic Gardens Congress, reconnecting with old friends and forming new relationships. A big thank you to the organizers, Singapore Botanic Gardens and BGCI, and to everyone who visited our exhibit and presentation. Read more about our summary here.
Mapping bed locations
We’re soon releasing a new feature to allow you to draw bed locations directly on your map. This can also be used to delineate other location types, such as enclosures in zoos, making it easier to manage plantings within specific areas. This feature is currently in testing and will be launched next month. Stay tuned!
