  • Provide a site for instruction in botany, horticulture, forestry, landscape architecture, environmental sciences and other fields related to the living collection. 
  • Encourage authorized research in fields such as plant hardiness, systematics and hybridization.
  • Educate the public through field trips, lectures and tours.
