This paper recommends cooperation between researchers, public gardens and nurserymen in a project to properly name, release and document new plant releases to the industry. Leadership for registration of woody plants not specifically assigned to any other society has been assigned to the American Association of Botanical Gardens and Arboreta (AABGA). Greater participation may be stimulated by publication of articles on registration in various media; development of interactive programs between nurserymen, public gardens, universities and the Office of Plant Patents; involvement of state representatives interested in stimulating the use of the International Code of Cultivated Plants—1980. Programs are in various stages of implementation.

According to the results of phytosanitary monitoring in the Arboretum of the NBG, 26 pest species were identified on 97 tree introduced species (1039 foci). In the Arboretum of the NBG in 2020, 27 species of phytopathogenic fungi (186 foci) were identified on 65 species of woody plants. Of these, 18 species are wood-destroying fungi that cause root and trunk rot in 57 species of tree introduced species (159 foci). In the Arboretum, 5 types of powdery mildew fungi (9 foci) and 4 types of fungi that cause rust (18 foci) were identified. The results of phytosanitary monitoring for the period 2015-2020 were summed up. The number of pest species increased by 8 species and amounted to 26 species of phytophagans, the number of pest foci increased by 32%. The number of foci of phytopathogenic bracket fungi that cause root and trunk rot increased from 103 to 159 units, the increase in foci of pathogens was 56 units. Currently, the number of bracket fungi that cause root rot is 7 species (135 foci), bracket fungi that cause trunk rot - 11 species (24 foci). The number of powdery mildew and rust fungi did not change during the studies. The biology and ecology of cottony-cushion scale ( Icerya purchasi ) was studied.

In 1989, the Chicago Botanic Garden implemented the Professional Exchange Program for people employed in educational institutions, public gardens, and museums. Other institutional members of the American Association of Botanic Gardens and Arboreta are also beginning to develop similar programs. These “working sabbaticals” at public gardens provide private and commercial sector, as well as academic professionals in horticulture education, management, research, and botany with a unique career opportunity. Experiential education is an inexpensive, short-term, highly effective way to expand and strengthen one's present knowledge and skills and stay on the “cutting edge” of horticulture. Participants work and study with peer-professionals exchanging ideas and expertise in a one-on-one applied setting. Existing programs are reviewed and information provided on how to participate with public gardens and how to develop one in your own area.

Formative evaluation (pretesting) can lead to better working exhibits in public gardens. While many botanical gardens and arboreta will attest to the importance of using formative evaluation, it has not been used to develop exhibits for consumers with diverse disabilities. At the Clotilde Irvine Sensory Garden of the University of Minnesota Landscape Arboretum (Chanhassen, Minn.) we are interested in developing exhibits that meet the needs of audiences with disabilities. To that end in 2000, four comprehensive interpretive exhibits were pretested before the final exhibits were installed within the Clotilde Irvine Sensory Garden to determine the exhibits ability to teach concepts to all regardless of disability. The evaluation indicated these exhibits were physically accessible, but needed attention in specific areas to enhance their inclusiveness.
