What do pop-up arboretums, roof top gardens and museum collections have in common? Find out how local public agencies are combining limited resources to make gardens and green spaces more accessible and equitable to local communities. Panelists will discuss how they are helping communities gain access to green spaces that traditionally provide solace, feelings of self-sufficiency, and improvements in physical and mental well-being.
