The Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) awarded a $504,197 Museums for America (CFDA 45.301) project grant to the Worcester County Horticultural Society to implement a collections inventory and mapping project for the New England Botanic Garden at Tower Hill. The 3-year project will enable the garden to hire a full-time plant recorder to conduct a comprehensive inventory of the woody and conservatory plant collections, reconcile the plant records database, verify cultivars, map each accession, install new plant tags, and improve the garden's collection management and accessibility for researchers and students. This effort will strengthen the management and care of the garden's plant records and enhance public access to the living plant collections.
