The garden is maintained by The Friends of the Forfar Botanists, a community group of volunteers. We are very proud of the group of botanists who came from our wee town. Our aim is to promote the memory of these intrepid men and their achievements. Hopefully it will be an inspiration to the young people of Forfar today, to try to achieve excellence in their chosen fields. The tale of the Forfar Botanists is an inspirational one. Five local men, who were all born into poverty, with little formal education, all achieved lasting fame for their contributions to botany. Their love of plants and their dedication took them to the far corners of the world and the heady heights of academia.
