The team met with staff from various California
botanical gardens because they aim to establish a National
Philippine Botanic Gardens system. Learning how other
gardens operate and function is vital to this goal. Dr. Don
Mahoney, San Francisco Botanical Garden Nursery Manager, explains the finer
points of plant propagation. Visits to the National Parks
Service and Yosemite National Park offered
opportunity to learn about conservation policies and practices
in the US.
