Wilmot Botanical Gardens Partnerships
For programming that involves patient care, research and educational activities, Wilmot Botanical Gardens houses it’s own therapeutic horticulture program. For administrative and fiscal affairs, Wilmot Botanical Gardens reports directly to the Office of Health Affairs. Operating funds are derived largely through extramural grants and philanthropy. Our organization is unique in that no similar unit exists on the UF campus or at any other major university in the southeast.
