The meeting arose from the initiative of Professor Jerzy Puchalski, Director of the Polish Academy of Sciences Botanical Garden – Centre for Biodiversity Conserva- tion in Powsin, delegate of the Council of Botanical Gardens in Poland in the Eu- ropean Consortium of Botanical Gardens and former Chairman of the Council of Botanical Gardens in Poland. His efforts and activity assembled eminent delegates from botanical gardens all around Europe. The gathering of the European Consortium of Botanical Gardens took place at The University of Silesia in Katowice. The meeting offered a pretext to organize an international conference “Back to Eden: Challenges for Contemporary Gardens” for the Council of Botanical Gardens in Poland which was held in Ustroń and Mikołów in Upper Silesia, Poland from the 21st to 23rd of May 2011. The conference and the European Consortium of Botanical Gardens meeting was organized under the honorary patronage of Mr. Stanisław Zalewski, Deputy Minister of Environment, Chief Conservator of Nature in Poland. This meeting was possible thanks to many institutions which helped us organi- zationally and financially and would not have been possible without the financial as- sistance of The Provincial Fund for Environment Protection and Water Management in Katowice, the city of Katowice, the State Forest in Poland Regional Forest Admin- istration in Katowice, the University of Silesia in Katowice, the Silesian Botanical Garden in Mikołów and the city of Mikołów. I would like to express my special thanks to The Provincial Fund for Environ- ment Protection and Water Management in Katowice, the City of Katowice and the Silesian Botanical Garden for sponsoring this publication. I would like to express my gratitude to all participants which actively took part in this event enriching it with their knowledge and experience. The conference proceedings are a product of the conference “Back to Eden: Challenges for Contemporary Gardens”. The conference was attended by 70 partici- pants from 23 countries. The papers covered both broad strategic themes as well as accounts of specific research and projects reflecting a wide range of challenges which botanical gardens face and with which they are dealing within the broader interna- tional context of nature conservation. The majority of the papers were presented in the English language but also several in Polish using simultaneous translation. Items relating to the region in which the conference took place are also included. The proceedings are arranged in three sections each of which represents a chal- lenge for contemporary gardens: Ex situ Conservation 6 7 Introduction and Acknowledgements This year for the first time the Council of Botanical Gardens in Poland had the privilege of organizing a meeting of the European Consortium of Botanical Gardens.
