gardens in Belgium and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg.<br \/>The gardens all vary in their collection, biodiversity, size and presentation. The V.B.T.A. unites these 28 unique gardens and supports its members in their work and initiatives. The association protects the interests of its members where possible and necessary and contributes to awareness of the 28 botanic gardens and arboreta. The V.B.T.A. helps spread botanic knowledge and diversity and fosters nature conservation and the protection of green spaces at home and abroad.<\/p><p>Mutual cooperation between the members is also strongly encouraged. The V.B.T.A. organises joint activities for the personnel and volunteers who work in the gardens and arboreta. Each year, there is a get-together and staff have regular opportunities to train together as garden guides. The location for these activities is always one of the members&#8217; gardens.<\/p><p>In 2017, the association compiled a list of <a href=\"https:\/\/botanischetuinen.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/vertalingen_botanische_familienamen_2017.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-wplink-edit=\"true\">Dutch translations of Latin family names<\/a>, compiled by Paul Goetghebeur of Ghent Botanical Garden in collaboration with Koen Es of Meise Botanical Garden.

The idea was to establish more joint objectives and activities and ways of exchanging information on collections. The first botanic garden guide training course was set up in 1998 and, in 2000, that course was evaluated and further expanded in cooperation with the V.B.T.A. members. Another activity that continues to this day is the visits by the various V.B.T.A. members to each other&#8217;s gardens. Since 1999, the V.B.T.A. has also been represented at meetings of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bgci.org\/our-work\/inspiring-and-leading-people\/where-we-work\/europe\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">European Botanic Gardens Consortium<\/a>.<br \/>In 2001, the first initiatives were taken for the Plantcol project (a platform in which then nine V.B.T.A. members made their database of living plants consultable through one website). In 2023, Plantcol was replaced by its successor <a href=\"https:\/\/botanicalcollections.be\/#\/nl\/home\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/botanicalcollections.be\/%23\/nl\/home&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1731489686128000&amp;usg=AOvVaw1P56CqrRQWKEHjHHWpsB55\">botanicalcollections.be<\/a>, with 20 participating gardens already in the meantime.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e34e44d e-grid e-con-full e-con e-child\" data-id=\"e34e44d\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cead66c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"cead66c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"w-col w-col-3\">\n<h4>Presidents<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Ernest Petit (1987-1990)<\/li>\n<li>Edmond Lammens (1990-1993)<\/li>\n<li>Karel Otten (1993-2000)<\/li>\n<li>Jan Rammeloo (2000-2011)<\/li>\n<li>Paul Goetghebeur (2011-2020)<\/li>\n<li>Chantal Dugardin (2020 &#8211;
