Just wanted to give you a heads up that on July 23-25, 2009 The American Horticultural Society is holding their National Children & Youth Garden Symposium. The symposium will be held at the Cleveland Botanical Garden in Ohio.
According to their website:
"Join leading national children and youth gardening experts, teachers, parents, volunteers, and youth to explore how gardens bring together diverse communities and foster curiosity, wonder, beauty, understanding, and acceptance. Let’s come together on this common ground, sharing our creativity and life experiences to forge a greener tomorrow for all to enjoy."
It sounds wonderful. Visit their website for more information.
