Public Greenspace

About

There are amazing examples of how public spaces have been elevated by horticulture. Think Central Park, High Line, and Millennium Park/Grant Park as grand examples. There are also fabulous integrations of green infrastructure that elevate communities, alleviate food deserts, provide beauty in small town America, increase tourism, and more.
This celebration of public horticulture showcases the best of overtaking concrete with green space, highlighting sustainability eﬀorts, positive ecological and economic impact, and promoting public gardens.
