On the Ground: Putting Preservation into Practice, hosted by the American Public Garden association and Vizcaya Museum & Gardens, Miami, FL, November 2-4, 2011
Caretakers of public gardens are, in a sense, historians. Whether in a brand new or ancient garden, the decisions we make imprint upon the fabric of the garden and are written in its history. As stewards we do our best to plan for appropriate, economical and successful restorations of our gardens. But what happens once the shovels hit the soil? How do we ensure the result lives up to our expectations? If you’re on the ground making day-to-day decisions or an administrator trying to figure out the bigger picture, this symposium will provide you contact with the tools and resources you need to make informed decisions, develop a game plan, and then put those principles into practice.
