About us
Who we are
Bgen, the Botanic Gardens Education Network, is a specialist support network for professional plant and natural world educators across the UK. We help our 300 members to connect people and plants in innovative and engaging ways. Bgen aims to integrate our members into an energetic network of like-minded people. We do this through online events, face to face training and networking events and our informative, topical Annual Conference.
Bgen supports and builds capacity in educators and community engagers in natural and plant science, biodiversity and sustainability, visitor engagement, audience development, evaluation and funding.
Bgen is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) and is governed by a committed and energetic board of trustees.
