Kingwood is often utilized by our guests as a place of retreat, to gather inspiration and refreshment. For those of us on the horticulture team at Kingwood, it is important for us to experience that same thing to continue with our ability to create beautiful gardens, and have Kingwood’s gardens be not only beautiful, but sustainable. There are several opportunities to gain inspiration throughout the horticulture industry, but one of the biggest is called Cultivate. Cultivate is organized by AmericanHort, a nonprofit that unites, promotes, and advances the horticulture industry through advocacy, collaboration, connectivity, education, market development, and research. We are fortunate enough to have Cultivate held annually in Columbus, Ohio, just an hour drive south of Kingwood.
