The Montgomery Botanical Center

9/8/2013

 I've spent this past week at the Montgomery Botanical Center. It's in southern Miami and it's a cycad and palm paradise. They grow living collections with a conservation focus (more on that another day).

The director Dr Patrick Griffith gave me and a visiting cycad paleobotanist Dr Boglarka Erdei a tour of the grounds. Patrick had so many stories to tell us about so many of the plants. It was a true delight to share Patrick's love of the plants and the gardens, and to meet all of the dedicated and friendly staff.

I've put some pictures of some vistas, the master plan for the site, and the critters on the grounds. There will be more on the plants in my next post or two.

    CHURCHILL-ABRS FELLOWSHIP

    In 2012, I was awarded a Churchill Fellowship sponsored  by the Australian Biological Resources Study. 
    This blog features postings about the many stops on my itinerary as I meet other scientists and visit botanic gardens in my goal to conserve Australia's endangered cycads.
