Welcome to the Far Reaches Botanical Conservancy
The mission of the Conservancy is to facilitate the acquisition and introduction to North America of threatened and vulnerable ornamental plants of known wild provenance as well as from cultivated sources. These plants will be maintained as a living reference collection for public educational and scientific purposes with the goal of conservation through cultivation via distribution to botanic and public gardens, botanists and researchers plus professional and amateur gardeners and horticulturists.
Upcoming Events at the Conservancy
2026 Hosted Display Garden Tours
We hope you'll join us at an upcoming 2026 FRBC tour! Your guides, Founding Directors Sue Milliken and Kelly Dodson will talk on the organization's obsession with plants and conservation. Together with Collections Manager Silas Zoeller, who will share about our plants as seen on his recent trips to Northeast India and to Chile, along with some of all their favorite genera or groups of plants. Each unique tour is an opportunity to show you about what FRBC membership and contributions are doing to conserve the extraordinarily rare plants in our collection.
