Sustainable Horticulture at Lotusland

We are pleased to announce the release of Partnering with Nature, Lotusland’s Sustainable Horticulture Guide! For nearly three decades, Lotusland has been at the forefront of sustainability, pioneering organic practices that have earned us recognition as one of the country’s first organic botanical public gardens. Developed through years of research, experimentation, and expert consultation, our sustainability program stands as a testament to our commitment to preserving and enhancing the distinctive estate and botanical gardens of Madame Ganna Walska.

Thanks to the generosity of Eric and Wendy Schmidt, we’re thrilled to share our knowledge and resources with you in this comprehensive technical guide. From understanding horticultural requirements to fostering habitat and eliminating harmful practices, each pillar of our program is detailed with transparency and insight. Whether you’re a seasoned gardener or just starting out, this guide is designed to inspire and educate, offering valuable tools to cultivate your own sustainable oasis. Stay tuned for the launch of our sustainability website and a public sustainable horticulture guide tailored specifically for home gardeners. Join us on this journey towards a greener, healthier future for all.
