Our journey began back in 1996, when the first version of IrisBG was developed by Øyvind Rustan (Compositae AS) in close collaboration with the Botanical Garden, University of Oslo in Norway. The latest version 4 was released in 2018 and introduced several new features to IrisBG. Since December 2019 Compositae has taken over full international distribution and IrisBG is managed by father and daughter.
We believe that IrisBG should serve as a helpful tool that facilitates the everyday work with your collection. Whether it is accessioning, sharing plant material with other institutions, creating a new tour on your premises or tracking location on seedlings being planted in your garden.
Today, IrisBG is one of the most comprehensive integrated software solutions available for botanical gardens.
