Year of the Kupu

As we continue our five-year journey of looking to planting oli (chants) for inspiration, 2026 brings us to a new chapter: the Year of the Kupu—a phase of emergence and new growth. 

Introducing our new brand

We’re excited to share our refreshed brand that reflects what’s always been true: we’re five unique gardens united in a shared mission for tropical plants.

Ensuring a Future with Botanical Gardens

NTBG’s mission remains steadfast, but today’s changing world presents new challenges. 

Plant Wins of 2025

Thanks to our community of staff, supporters, and partners, 2025 was a year filled with important plant wins.

Welcome to the
National Tropical Botanical Garden

We work across five botanical gardens and throughout the tropics to grow a brighter tomorrow for plants and all they sustain. We do so through a biocultural approach, where Indigenous knowledge, community priorities, and scientific research guide our path forward. Together, we will restore flourishing relationships between plants, people, and places.
