About National Children & Youth Garden Symposium

In 1993 the American Horticultural Society saw a need to reconnect children with nature, so it created the first Children & Youth Garden Symposium that educated and inspired people to look at garden design from a new point of view. This reconnection was accomplished in landscapes designed specifically for children and the way they play, explore, and interact. Since that date many thousands of children's gardens have been created all over the world. AHS is proud to have opened the doors for so many, and the Society continues to embrace all youth garden programming that not only reinforces what has been accomplished so far, but takes children's gardens into the next millennium.
