The
American Horticultural Society sponsors a Children & Youth Garden
Symposium every year, which will take place this July 29-31, 2004 in Ithaca,
New York. The symposium's purpose is to bring together educators and
horticulturalists who are interested in children and youth gardening. We have
attended the conference every other year and can say that it was a great experience.
The keynote presenter is Dr. Roger Hart from the City University of New
York, Children's Environments Research Group. We have worked with
Roger on a project and he has fabulous ideas for involving children in the
design process. For more information on the actual sessions, click
