Symposium Spotlight: Longwood Gardens
By Laura Kunkle, AIB Executive Director

The annual symposium and awards program is one of the highlights of my year. For three days we celebrate the amazing ways that people are planting pride across America. As I mentally list the cities we've held the symposium since 2002, I recall special moments from each. This year's symposium, October 2-4 in Philadelphia, is guaranteed to create lifelong memories.
