If you cut the scientists from a Botanic garden, is it still a ‘Botanic’ garden?

Bad news via the Botanical Society of America [fullclear]…but what is it that makes a garden a botanic garden? Botanic gardens were originally set up to classify plants for science. Is the presence of name labels enough or do you need people doing botany to make a place a botanic garden?
