全球植物园重新设想了可持续温室的设计如何能够加强全球跨学科科学教育并加深公众对自然的理解。全球植物园扩大了玛格丽特-弗格森博士1920年的愿景，她主张将植物生物学作为科学教育的核心部分，并鼓励学生 “倾听 “植物，通过跨学科的亲身体验来学习。
GLOBAL FLORA reimagines how the design of a sustainable greenhouse can enhance global interdisciplinary science education and deepen a public understanding of nature. The Global Flora botanical facility expands the 1920 vision of Dr. Margaret Ferguson who argued for plant biology as a central part of science education and encouraged students to “listen to” plants and learn through hands-on interdisciplinary experiences.
全球植物园在干旱和热带生物群落中拥有卓越的全球植物收藏。具有代表性的杜兰特山茶树已有140多年的历史，被安置在一个与新设施相连的季节性亭子里。全球植物园超过了生活建筑挑战的净零水和能源要求，这是世界上最严格的可持续建筑认证。
Global Flora houses a pre-eminent global plant collection in Dry and Tropical biomes. The iconic Durant Camellia tree, over 140 years old, is housed in a seasonal pavilion that connects with the new facility. Global Flora exceeds the Net Zero Water & Energy requirements of the Living Building Challenge, the world’s most rigorous certification of sustainable construction.
一个开源的交互式传感器平台允许人们通过多个公共数字媒体平台收集和分享来自植物、土壤、空气和水的实时数据。全球植物园是一个免费的公共植物学实验室和 “博物馆”，在现场和网上向当代和未来的人强调环境管理的重要性。收集的数据可供公立学校和国际研究大学使用，从而加强全球知识共享平台。
An open-source Interactive Sensor Platform allows people to gather and share real-time data from plants, soil, air, and water over multiple public digital media platforms. Global Flora is a free and public botany lab and ‘museum’ that emphasizes the importance of environmental stewardship to current and future generations on-site and online. Gathered data is accessible to public schools and international research universities, thereby strengthening the global knowledge-sharing platform.
