American Public Gardens Association 2016 Annual Conference Changing Perspectives, Planting for the Future To plant the seeds for our future, we will cultivate and fertilize fresh ideas for the success of our public gardens, together. New perspectives breathe fresh life into everything we do. With public gardens, new perspectives can mean the difference between urban lots becoming indispensable green spaces, food oases or wasted spaces. Plant species can thrive from innovative conservation efforts or wane, finding or losing new ground. How can we take fresh ideas and put them into positive action in our own public gardens? What small steps will help us plant for tomorrow? What big new ideas are needed to confront the challenges of our ever-changing future? The answers to these questions are at the heart of the American Public Gardens Association 2016 Annual Conference. To plant the seeds for our future, we will cultivate and fertilize fresh ideas for the success of our public gardens, together. Join us, lend your new perspectives, and contribute to the new look of public gardening at the American Public Gardens Association 2016 Annual Conference. 2016 CONFERENCE PROMOTION OPPORTUNITIES 3
