The Hortus Botanicus Helveticus (HBH) association was founded in 1996 and united 31 Swiss botanical gardens. It is committed to conserving national and international plant collections and botanical gardens and supports and promotes activities cooperating with regional and federal authorities.
The organisation also organises BOTANICA, an initiative of the joint Swiss botanical gardens. BOTANICA Winter Week takes place in February, and BOTANICA Summer Month from mid-June to mid-July.
The HBH also organises other activities and an annual two-day general meeting on various current topics.
Since 2005, it has represented Switzerland in the Consortium of European Botanical Gardens.
