Description

The main collection of the Gardens is laid out in nine native habitats of the Acadian Forest Region. All of the plants found in these habitats are native species to the region. Other features of the Gardens include: Medicinal and Food Garden, Conservatory, Walled Garden and Experimental Garden.

Sampling Description

Study Extent

Inventory of plants from the Harriet Irving Botanical Gardens with a focus on plants of the Acadian Forest Region.

Sampling

The data supplied by the HIBG contain mutliple specimens with the same accession number. As the data are loaded, if the accession number already existed, the UTM coordinates are appended to that record's UTM coordinates. Thus, more than one coordinate may exist for a specimen because multiple clones of the specimen were planted throughout the gardens.
