Completed Cohort Projects

About the Cohort Project

Each cohort of Fellows works collectively on a single project that spans the duration of the yearlong program. The project contributes, in some tangible and meaningful way, to the leadership conversation occurring in public gardens. Project topics may be generated by the Fellows, suggested by Longwood or a horticulture partner, or identified by a public garden professional.

Pending acceptance, Fellows present the results of their project at the annual conference of the American Public Gardens Association. The scope and relevance of the project will be commensurate with the effort required to produce an article for publication.
