Our motto is: To collect, protect, propagate and understand plants of ethnobotanical significance and their lore. We have worked in California, Hawaii, Mexico, Peru, and Costa Rica to study and preserve traditional cultural knowledge about plants and their uses. We initiate or participate in projects that explore and carry on the relationship between plants and humans, particularly seeking those species involved in healing, rituals, stories, nourishment, arts and material culture. In 2015, we opened a unique resource, the Botanical Dimensions Ethnobotany Library. We offer a wide-ranging and growing educational resource—well over 1000 books and periodicals that reveal the plant-human relationship. We offer classes and workshops on global ethnobotany, psychoactive plant and mushroom species, the history of our food and spice plants, and more. As of March 2020, the Ethnobotany Library temporarily closed, due to Covid and budget issues. We shall see if it can reopen. At BD, we are always learning and always sharing what we learn. Although we were a nonprofit for 35 years, since early 2020 we have been working under a fiscal sponsor, the umbrella nonprofit, Inquiring Systems, Inc.
