This survey-based database was designed to inventory and manage information about the historic landscape resources of the American Association of Botanical Gardens and Arboreta (AABGA) members within North America.
This is a project of the AABGA's Historic Landscapes Committee. The project partners are Bloom Inc., Filoli Center, and the Stanley Smith Horticultural Trust. Bloom Inc. is a non-profit organization that provides information management and network building tools to the plant biodiversity community.
The primary goal of this site is to act as a finding guide for site managers to help facilitate preservation, networking and site stewardship. Other goals are to promote historic research, heritage tourism and marketing within the AABGA. Visit the NetGuide Forum for more networking opportunities.
