At least two Botanical Cruisers escape the initial Cylon attack on the Colonies.

Newly-inaugurated President Laura Roslin visited the sublight-capable Botanical Cruiser while gathering a caravan from surviving civilian ships surrounding the colony of Caprica. A young girl named Cami and her grandmother are on this Botanical Cruiser with many other survivors. Most of the passengers aboard were from Picon or Gemenon.
However, the ship that Roslin visits lacks an FTL drive, and the light-speed-enabled part of President Roslin's caravan of refugee ships are forced to leave that Botanical Cruiser and many other sublight ships behind when Cylon Raiders discover the fleet of ships and is presumed destroyed by the Cylons (Miniseries).

Additional Information | |||
An FTL-capable Botanical Cruiser exists in the Fleet (33).
Several months following the escape from New Caprica, it is successfully escorted to the algae planet through a dangerous star cluster on the fifth and final jump, although it appears the biota did not fare so well in the presence of so much ionizing radiation (The Passage).
It would survive the Battle of the Ionian Nebula and later jumped away when the Rebel baseship jumped in ahead of the sewage recycling freighter Demetrius (He That Believeth In Me, Guess What's Coming to Dinner).
The vessel would still remain with the fleet until the finding of Earth, where it, along with the other remaining vessels in the fleet would be sent into the sun (Daybreak, Part II)
Notes
- The Botanical Cruiser was an homage to the Agro Ships from the original Battlestar Galactica, which themselves were re-used models from the botanical spacecraft from the movie Silent Running, a Universal/MCA movie that special effects guru John Dykstra worked on a few years prior to the Original Series.
