Institutions and entities in Catalonia
The following links lead to a selection of institutions and organizations involved in the conservation and dissemination of information on gardens of Catalonia. The botanical gardens themselves also act in many cases as institutions or organizations dedicated to promotion and conservation, but have not been included in this section to avoid duplicating information.
It must be noted that the dossier only includes those institutions which have an active website. Unfortunately, this criterion inevitably excludes other information of other institutions that work in this line, but which cannot be consulted from the web.
