of the important role public gardens play in promoting environmental
stewardship, plant and water conservation, and education, as well as
serving as an inspiration to gardeners everywhere.

outdoor spaces and gardens to enrich their homes and lives," said Gayle
Butler, editor in chief, Better Homes and Gardens. "Public
gardens are a wonderful resource for further inspiration and we are
excited to provide the opportunity for our readers to experience these
national treasures firsthand."
Many of the APGA's 500 member institutions, including botanical gardens,
arboreta, conservatories, educational gardens, museum gardens and
historical gardens, will celebrate National Public Gardens Day with
varied activities and events for schools, families and thousands of
visitors. Activities will continue throughout Mother's Day weekend so
that visitors can enjoy the beauty of the gardens and learn about each
garden's commitment to environmental stewardship, education, research
and to the communities they serve.

public gardens through this offer," said Casey Sclar, interim executive
