Summary
In partnership with the Ministry of Sustainability & Climate Resiliency, the Queen Elizabeth II Botanic Park will enhance its Native Plant Nursery on Grand Cayman. The project will enable the increased use of native plants for conservation projects, landscaping needs, and other purposes, instead of using non-native and potentially invasive species. The project will achieve this goal by delivering strategic improvements to existing nursery facilities and growing a minimum of 250 plants comprised of a mix of 10 native species.
