EuroGard VII at MNHN

The European Botanic Gardens Congress, EuroGard VII, was held in Paris from July 6-10, 2015 at the National Natural History Museum. It was organised in partnership with the European Botanic Gardens Consortium (EBGC), Botanic Gardens Conservation international (BGCI), and Jardins botaniques de France et des pays francophones (JBF).

EuroGard VII brought together representatives from botanic gardens across Europe. The scientific programme focused around the new version of the European Botanic Gardens Action Plan. The conference addressed the issues and challenges facing botanic gardens in the Decade on Biodiversity and will consider opportunities and prospects for the community of botanic gardens.
