New GIS resources available!

This spring, a team from the UC Davis Arboretum, funded in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), released new Geographic Information System (GIS) tools and training customized for public gardens, parks and zoos.  

Social Media in Public Gardens

At APGA, we want to help our members effectively use social media. There are a lot of materials on social media available on the web, via blogs, white papers, and reports, but there is limited information available on how public gardens are leveraging it.

To gather ideas and insites to share collectively, a variety of member gardens are participating as mini case studies.
