"I've been a collections manager for 12 years and this is the first time I've been to such a meeting. The Arnold and Mount Auburn really opened itself up and shared their experience beyond my expectation; what a wonderful combination of places to hold such a meeting."

-Elaine M. Chittenden, Manager of Living Collections, Smith College, Lyman Conservatory

APGA would like to thank Mount Auburn Cemetery and The Arnold Arboretum of Harvard University for hosting the 2007 Plant Collections Symposium in Boston, Massachusetts. Over 100 professionals working in our public gardens attended our first symposium dedicated to plant collections and curation. By all accounts this program was timely and well received by attendees.
