NAPCC Collections at the Scott Arboretum
In the Nov/Dec 2011 issue of the American Gardener there is a wonderful article describing the effort of the North American Plant Collection Consortium (NAPCC).
The NAPCC is part of the American Public Gardens Association (APGA). The NAPCC is an advocate for raising plant curation, plant records, and collections management standards. It is also a seal of approval for plant collections found in botanical gardens and arboreta that exhibit exemplary collections of plants throughout North America.
