Dartmouth’s Life Sciences Greenhouse is home to 1,400 species of plants that represent some truly fascinating and beautiful parts of the plant kingdom. The living collection contains more than 50 endangered species and has been curated to help educate our community about many aspects of the plant sciences. Dana Ozimek, botanical horticulturist and assistant greenhouse manager, will share details about intriguing species, growing tips on how to care for a wide range of plants, and examples of how modern botanical conservatories are protecting the world’s flora.

Dana studied botany and sustainable landscape horticulture at the University of Vermont and has worked for more than 20 years in a wide variety of horticultural settings. Her time working in commercial horticulture and the research department of Longwood Gardens helped her find her true calling of caring for diverse botanical collections as a botanical horticulturist at UVM and UConn before joining Dartmouth. Dana is passionate about growing rare, unusual, and endangered plants and helping foster stronger human-plant relations. www.dartmouth.edu/greenhouse
