GTN icon CLIENT FEEDBACK

Working with the IDEA Center for Public Gardens and the Green Thread Network has been deeply meaningful for our team at Qiqo. These communities embody the kind of thoughtful, equity-driven leadership we built Qiqo Circles to support. It has been an honor to provide and sponsor Qiqo Circles as the community platform for the IDEA Center and, more recently, for the BIPOC Hort group—helping create spaces where connection, learning, and peer support can continue well beyond individual programs or events. We truly value this partnership and are inspired by the work these groups do to cultivate inclusive, resilient networks across public gardens and horticulture.
