2022 The Garden Club of America Hope Goddard Iselin Fellowship in Public Horticulture
Investigating the Role a Public Garden Can Play in Adult Environmental Education after a Natural Disaster
Salisbury, director of the Ambler Arboretum of Temple University, aims to create a model for assessing community need and interest in adult environmental education post natural disaster. Inspired by what the community wants to learn, Salisbury hopes this model for developing relevant educational programming in the wake of a natural disaster will become the standard for program development addressing climate change and climateresilient landscapes. The Ambler Arboretum and surrounding community suffered catastrophic damage in 2021 from an EF2 tornado resulting from the remnants of Hurricane Ida.
