Notes de l'éditeur
Clearly urgent timeline for action, and public gardens have a significant role to play. Understanding the landscape of botanical capacity can help inform how gardens chart their future work so they can more strategically and actively fill critical gaps in the future.
Use as segway to say that without interest understanding and appreciation we won’t have any support for botanical capacity. May be better to put this at the end.
