Hypnotizing Horticulture:
Catalytic Conservation:
Liberated Leadership:
How do your gardens leave visitors with a lasting impression? Are you addressing climate change in your planting decisions and garden design? Do your displays reflect the community and serve as examples to visitors? Share your success stories of displays that delight, collections that captivate and designs that dazzle.
Even the most elaborate conservation efforts begin with a single driving force. Environmental preservation isn’t magic; it’s diligent monitoring and study. How are you prioritizing initiatives? Are your conservation programs happening onsite, or do you venture beyond your garden’s perimeters to effect change? Share what you are doing to create a transformative experience at your garden – or in the community.
Has your leadership transformed your garden, employees and community? Are you creating partnerships with local nonprofits and for-profits to make your garden more relevant in the community? Talk about how you are improving and adapting your garden for the future.
