Who We Are
The Botanic Gardens Education Network (BGEN) promotes and advances the delivery of education in member organisations. We are a specialist support and training network for professionals working in education related to plants and the natural world. The network has more than 200 members, most of whom are educators in botanic gardens and other centres of environmental education in the UK and Ireland. Anyone is welcome to join BGEN, though as a support network, those likely to gain the most benefit are professional biodiversity educators within the UK. You can learn more about our members and our work in the sections highlighted below.

Partnerships and Initiatives
BGEN has partnered with a number of UK and global initatives to promote excellence in environmental and plant-based education. We believe that education organisations and initiatives are stronger when we partner together and build on one another's strengths. Central to this work is supporting and promoting our members' interests in the policy arena.
Read more below about each of the exciting partnerships and initiatives that BGEN supports and promotes. Additionally, we are always interested in exploring new partnerships and relationships.
