Since then the gardens have passed through multiple hands and names. From 1843 - 1856 the RTBG were the responsibility of the Botanical and Horticultural Society of Van Diemen's Land (1843 - 1844), then the Royal Society of Van Diemen's Land for Horticulture, Botany and the Advancement of Science (1844 - 1911) Royal Society of Tasmania (1911 - ). In 1885 control of the RTBG was returned to the Tasmanian Government and the Tasmanian Museum and Botanical Gardens Trust (1886 - 1953) was formed to manage it. In 1967 the RTBG was given the right to use the term "royal" in its name. The RTBG plays a significant role in conservation of native Tasmanian plants and houses a seed bank and conducts extensive research and conservation work with Tasmanian orchids.
