Houston Botanic Garden is committed to creating an equitable, diverse, inclusive, and accessible environment where all are valued, respected, and appreciated. We believe that the collective sum of diverse people and their lived experiences contributes to more rich, innovative, and impactful activities that allow the Garden to better connect to the diverse community of Houston and beyond. We embrace visible and invisible differences in ability, age, appearance, education, ethnicity, family or marital status, gender identity, language, national origin, political affiliation, race, religion, sex, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, veteran status, and the many other attributes, characteristics, and perspectives that make our staff and our visitors unique and diverse. We commit to treating all people with dignity and respect at all times and assessing our actions as individuals and as an organization to reflect these values and commitments.
