FEATURED CASE STUDY
Welcoming Neurodiverse Visitors at Jenkins Arboretum
Jenkins is working to make our site, programs, and services more accessible to all our community members. As part of that goal, we wanted to improve resources for neurodiverse visitors, including those with autism.
We frequently interact with neurodiverse visitors in the garden, and it is our aim to make sure our staff and site are as friendly, comfortable, and safe as possible.
- Expand online resources for pre-visit planning
- Create and promote a sensory backpack program
- Train staff to better welcome neurodiverse visitors
- Build meaningful relationships with members of and care providers for the neurodiverse community
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.
