Frequently Asked Questions about the map

Are all the locations on Community of Gardens publicly accessible?

Not necessarily. It is up to you to determine if any given location is one you can physically visit.

How do you choose locations for each garden? or The location is wrong!

Placing historical gardens on a map can be tricky. We choose locations based on what we think makes the most sense. Sometimes we get it wrong (and sometimes there is no "right" answer). Feel free to email us at communityofgardens@si.edu with suggestions for improvement.
