Strategic Framework
High Desert Horticultural Center Strategic Framework
The High Desert Horticultural Center (HDHC) was created to provide understanding and research for resource conservation and provide opportunities for the public, industry professionals and future restoration practitioners to increase their knowledge of native plants and the benefits associated with their use. HDHC focuses on four key issues: biodiversity, pollinator habitat, resource conservation and the human environment and addresses these issues through education, research, workforce development, nursery production and botanical and demonstration gardens.
To inspire ecological integrity, improve sustainability of urban landscapes, and foster the relationship between people and the natural world by increasing the appreciation and understanding of the environmental benefits native vegetation contribute to created and managed landscapes.
