2020 Reciprocal Admissions Program AMERICAN HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY 2020 RECIPROCAL ADMISSIONS PROGRAM Participating Gardens, Arboreta, and Conservatories For details on benefits and 90-mile radius enforcement, see https://ahsgardening.org/gardening-programs/rap Program Guidelines: A current membership card from the American Horticultural Society (AHS) or a participating RAP garden entitles the visitor to special admissions privileges and/or discounts at many different types of gardens. The AHS provides the following guidelines to its members and the members of participating gardens for enjoying their RAP benefits: This printable document is a listing of all sites that participate in the American Horticultural Society’s Reciprocal Admissions Program. This listing does not include information about the benefit(s) that each site offers. For details on benefits and enforcement of the 90- mile radius exclusion, see https://ahsgardening.org/gardening-programs/rap Call the garden you would like to visit ahead of time. Some gardens have exclusions for special events, for visitors who live within 90 miles of the garden, etc. Each garden has its own unique admissions policy, RAP benefits, and hours of operations. Calling ahead ensures that you get the most up to date information. Present your current membership card to receive the RAP benefit(s) for that garden. Each card will only admit the individual(s) whose name is listed on the card. In the case of a family, couple, or household membership card that does not list names, the garden must extend the benefit(s) to at least two of the members. Beyond this, gardens will refer to their own policies regarding household/family memberships. Some gardens may require a photo ID. The 90-mile Exclusion policy allows a garden to exclude members of gardens within 90 miles of it from receiving the RAP benefit(s). For AHS members, the exclusion is based on their home address. Please contact the garden you belong to or the garden you plan to visit to inquire about their enforcement of this policy. Remember that the gardens you visit rely on admission and donations to maintain their collections and gardens for all to enjoy. Please support them by visiting their gift shops or making a contribution.

  • Backgrounder: the New York Botanical Garden's Legacy Of
    Moore in America: Monumental Sculpture at The New York Botanical Garden May 24 – November 2, 2008 Backgrounder: The New York Botanical Garden’s Legacy of Natural and Designed Landscapes The New York Botanical Garden, a 250-acre site that has been designated a National Historic Landmark, offers a wealth of beautiful landscapes, including a hardwood Forest, ponds, lakes, streams, rolling hills with dramatic rock outcroppings carved by glaciers, and New York City’s only freshwater river, which runs through the heart of the Forest in a magnificent rock gorge. These picturesque natural features have been further enhanced by more than a century of artful plantings, gardens, and landscapes designed by the nation’s leading landscape architects and garden designers. As a result of both its natural and human legacies, the Botanical Garden today offers an exceptional setting for outdoor sculpture. Scenic beauty and stunning natural features Following the New York State Governor’s approval on April 28, 1891, of The New York Botanical Garden Act of Incorporation, a site needed to be selected for the location of this new educational and scientific institution. Selection turned to an undeveloped park in the central Bronx. In 1887, a published description of this area notes, “it would be difficult to do justice to the exquisite loveliness of this tract without seeming to exaggerate…gigantic trees, centuries old, crown these summits, while great moss and ivy-covered rocks project here and there at different heights above the surface of the water, increasing the wildness of the science.” An 1893 newspaper account describes the romantic vistas of an old stone house, snuff mill, and other artifacts of previous land use, while surrounded with “almost every tree known to the American forest in the Northern clime.” The underlying bedrock, dark gray Fordham gneiss, shapes many rock outcrops, rolling hills, and steep slopes, ranging from 20 to 180 feet above sea level.

  • Agriculture and the Future of Food: the Role of Botanic Gardens Introduction by Ari Novy, Executive Director, U.S
    Agriculture and the Future of Food: The Role of Botanic Gardens Introduction by Ari Novy, Executive Director, U.S. Botanic Garden Ellen Bergfeld, CEO, American Society of Agronomy, Crop Science Society of America, and Soil Science Society of America The more than 320 million Americans alive today depend on plants for our food, clothing, shelter, medicine, and other critical resources. Plants are vital in today’s world just as they were in the lives of the founders of this great nation. Modern agriculture is the cornerstone of human survival and has played extremely important roles in economics, power dynamics, land use, and cultures worldwide. Interpreting the story of agriculture and showcasing its techniques and the crops upon which human life is sustained are critical aspects of teaching people about the usefulness of plants to the wellbeing of humankind. Botanical gardens are ideally situated to bring the fascinating story of American agriculture to the public — a critical need given the lack of exposure to agricultural environments for most Americans today and the great challenges that lie ahead in successfully feeding our growing populations. Based on a meeting of the nation’s leading agricultural and botanical educators organized by the U.S. Botanic Garden, American Society of Agronomy, Crop Science Society of America, and Soil Science Society of America, this document lays out a series of educational narratives that could be utilized by the U.S. Botanic Garden, and other institutions, to connect plants and people through presentation

  • Jacksonville Arboretum & Botanical Gardens Receives Grants to Start
    Jacksonville Arboretum & Botanical Gardens e-Newsletter February 2021 EDITION Hours: 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Jacksonville Arboretum & Botanical Gardens Receives Grants to Start Master Plan Process Jacksonville, Fla. (Feb. 10, 2021) – Later this month, the Arboretum will begin the exciting process of developing a master plan to design and install botanical gardens on the property. The master plan process was made possible by generous grants of $30,000 from the Delores Barr Weaver Legacy Fund and $10,000 from the River Branch Foundation. The planning process will take about eight months to complete. The addition of botanical gardens is the latest in a continuous plan to propel the Arboretum into a best-in-class destination in the southeast. Executive Director Dana Doody noted that each project is being planned carefully to add as much value as possible while managing the non-profit’s budget plan in unprecedented times. In addition to the grant for the master plan design, the Delores Barr Weaver Legacy Fund also awarded the Arboretum a $70,000 challenge grant for the first phase of the implementation. The 1:1 challenge grant will launch a community campaign following the completion of the design plan. “The Arboretum is an important community asset which brings thousands of people to its special trails, many of which are ADA accessible,” said Delores Barr Weaver. “The plan will provide a vision for a botanical destination, sure to benefit our citizens for years to come.” The process will take into account the Arboretum’s unique qualities, Florida’s seasons and Jacksonville’s ecosystems and native horticulture.

  • PP Annual Report Exec Summary V4.Indd
    2015–16 Dear Portlanders: Thank you for your recent commitment to repairing and improving Portland’s parks. In November 2014, you and an impressive 74 percent of Portlanders voted “Yes” for the Parks Replacement Bond Projects26 underway — the highest percentage ever for a Parks ballot measure. You became part of a long tradition of Portlanders who’ve built and maintained our city’s enviable collection of park facilities. In this fi rst full year of the Bond, from July 2015 to July 2016, we’ve laid the foundation for the work to be done. In this upcoming year, you’ll start to see tangible results in the parks. Replacement of the 70 to 90 year old mechanical systems at Grant Pool was the fi rst completed project, and next year, results will be visible across the city. Project1 completed About every nine years over the last century, Portlanders have invested in increasing, preserving and maintaining our park system by voting “yes” on parks bonds or levies. Before the 2014 bond, the last major bond was in 1994, meaning 20 years passed without signifi cant park improvements or address- ing dire repair needs. Portland Parks & Recreation anticipates a $248 million funding gap for major maintenance needs over the next 10 years. The $68 million in funds from the 2014 Parks Replacement Bond will not address all of these maintenance issues, but it is vital to fi xing, upgrading and replacing the most crucial of these needs. Projects18 ahead of As your Parks Commissioner and Parks Director, we are making sure the funds will be used wisely and schedule maximize benefi ts to the greatest number of park users.
