Longwood Gardens is telling its story of environmental stewardship through an educational initiative called “12 Months of Sustainability.” Under this program, Longwood is featuring a different environmental topic each month to demonstrate to its guests how sustainability factors into Longwood’s everyday operations.
These topics are incorporated into Longwood’s marketing and programming in a way that resonates with guests and provides them with key take-home messages that they can apply in their own lives.
