Are you interested in taking your garden maps to the next level? This full-day workshop will guide participants through the process of creating GIS for a public garden (or similar institution) using Esri ArcGIS and the Alliance for Public Gardens GIS (APGG) Public Garden Data Model on individual work stations. Participants will learn how to download and install the data model template, how to create and edit map features in ArcGIS, how to collect garden data, and how to create plant collection maps. Participants will also be provided with crucial concepts and background information about GIS, managing and presenting garden collections data, and additional APGG support resources available for creating a public garden GIS for your own garden, park, nature center, zoo, cemetery, museum or public landscape.
