A botanical garden model in a city

Build a Botanical Garden for Your City or Town.

Your City or town deserves access to plant-based solutions for food, health, and environmental restoration. Building a botanical garden is one of the most powerful ways to make that happen. A living space where knowledge, healing, and opportunity grow together

Today, most schools and universities no longer teach botany in a practical way. Those that do often teach students to memorize Latin names but rarely show them how to observe, grow, or use plants in the field.


As a result, communities lose their connection with plants. They face poor nutrition, declining health, and environmental degradation even while surrounded by species that could feed, heal, and restore their environment.


A botanical garden is one of the most powerful institutions a community can have. It is where science, culture, and nature come together to reconnect people with plants through education, conservation, and innovation.


As a decision maker, you have to think differently. A botanical garden is not only for wealthy countries or scientists. It is for every city and community that wants to solve real problems of health, nutrition, and environmental restoration

Who can help to build a Botanical Garden

At Botapreneur Solutions, we understand the challenge of building a botanical garden. It can seem overwhelming, expensive, and complex.

 

Our founder, William Cinéa, has solved this. He created Haiti’s Cayes Botanical Garden in 2003 with less than $50, turning it into the nation's "nature brain."


To turn this local success into a world-class model, he earned a Master’s in Botanical Garden Leadership from Cornell University and studied at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. He was personally coached by the world's most influential leaders, like Peter Wyse Jackson, Donald Racow, Christopher Dunm.


His 20 years of work led to selection for the Kinship Conservation Fellowship and a seat on the BGCI International Advisory Council (IAC). This journey gives us the unique expertise to guide you to build botanical gardens to solve problems.

Your plan to establish a botanical garden

Building an institution sounds complex, but we make it simple by guiding you through three clear steps:


Step 1: Design the Vision We begin with a strategic consultation to define your mission, audit your resources, and create a master plan that fits your community's unique goals and budget.


Step 2: Build the System We guide you through practical implementation, helping you build the garden's core infrastructure and training your local team for long-term, independent management.


Step 3: Grow the Impact We help you develop the educational and conservation programs that transform your garden from a park into a self-sustaining institution—a living hub for science, innovation, and community pride.
 

Three Benefits of Building a Botanical Garden

Local Flora Understanding: Your local flora will be documented, promoted, conserved, and valorized. This creates a living database you can use to address critical challenges in nutrition, health, and climate change

Capacity Building: A botanical garden is a center for training. You can build a new generation of experts—including phytotherapists, horticulturists, ethnobotanists, and conservationists—who can value and protect your flora.

Legacy and Sustainability: You are not just building a park; you are building an institution that lasts for generations. It will become a self-sustaining hub for learning, innovation, and pride for your entire community and country

If you do not build your botanical garden, your community will continue to see plants as weeds instead of valuable resources for food, medicine, and well-being.
Your local flora will remain undocumented, and your country and community will be dependent on imported solutions. But if you act now, you can create a legacy — a sustainable future for the next generation.
