This timely webinar is about Ukrainian botanical gardens and their critical role during the ongoing war with Russia. The webinar will be led by Tony Allison, Board President of Partnerships for Nature, a US non-profit organization that works closely with Ukrainian botanical gardens, and will feature Andriy Prokopiv, Director of Lviv University Botanical Garden in Ukraine.
Since the Russian invasion in early 2022, Ukraine’s botanical gardens have been serving as centers of respite, recovery, environmental education, and nature healing. As a model for international collaboration, leaders from three Ukrainian gardens will describe their current focus on Therapeutic Horticulture, utilizing US expertise to assist the traumatized population of their country, including veterans and refugee families. Ukrainian botanical garden leaders will provide vivid updates about their gardens and their work, and will discuss their productive collaborations with US and UK partners. The webinar will conclude with a question and answer session, and will explain how you can support these efforts.
