Did you know?photo by Koraley NorthenYour membership provides critical support for our international andlocal plant science and conservation work, and Garden membershipscontribute 20% of our annual operating funds.President’sCommentSeems like summer is always a busy time ofyear—lots of activities, travel, and festivals.And summer at the Missouri Botanical Garden,Sophia M. Sachs Butterfly House, and ShawNature Reserve was no different. In additionto the wide variety of classes, concerts, andmember events we offer every year, this summerwe also hosted our second Chinese LanternFestival. The exhibit, which celebrated China’smagnificent flora and the Garden’s work todiscover and protect it, was so popular that weextended it by a week.Through it all, conservation work continueslocally and throughout the world, and we areexcited to be a part of some of these efforts.From ex situ conservation inside the Climatron(see page 16) and cataloging the species at theReserve (see page 15) to St. Louis’s Milkweedsfor Monarchs Workshop (see page 7) andconservation in Madagascar and Gabon (seepages 4 and 5), efforts range in size and reach.But make no mistake; they are all importantto secure a healthy, biodiverse world for futuregenerations.As the seasons begin to change, you’ll alsosee changes at the Garden. Most noticeably,renovation of the Brookings InterpretiveCenter begins this fall (see page 9) as part ofour Garden for the World campaign. Whetherit’s through the expansion and enhancementof one of our popular year-round attractionsfor school groups and families or bringing thepower of plants to those who can’t visit us (seepage 17), the Garden is committed to providingeducational opportunities for visitors of all agesand abilities to engage with, learn about, andlove plants.Dr. Peter Wyse Jackson,President2Plus, as a Garden member: You receive free admission for two adults and all children (12 andyounger) at Shaw Nature Reserve and the Butterfly House.

Dr. Croat has collected more than 100,000 specimensin the field and built up the world’s largest collectionof Araceae at the Garden.

OPUS’s goal is tocompile a body of related researchprojects done over an extendedperiod of time. In Dr. Croat’scase, it means gathering all theinformation he’s collected for morethan 50 years to describe about3,000 species of plants, mostlyfrom Araceae.The aroid family is highly soughtafter for ornamental purposes. It isalso an important tool in teachingbiology due to the many uniquefeatures the plants exhibit, such asthe production of heat and a widearray of flower types and pollinationsystems. “In all the years I’ve beenworking with aroids, I can say thatI can’t go anywhere without finding5Anadabolava–Betsimalaho Thicket, one of the new protected areas included in the new decrees, is one of theGarden’s conservation sites in Madagascar.
