FROM PLANTS TO DATA
A PROJECT ROOTED IN BOTANICAL GARDENS
Digital tools for the plant world
Behind every plant, a world of knowledge.
Preserving a specimen’s provenance, following its cultivation, organising a collection: botanical gardens care for an irreplaceable scientific heritage.
Initiated by the Jardin Botanique de Genève, Botalista brings together modular management software and an association of botanical gardens. A shared project to structure data and nurture collaboration.
