Friends of Smart Growth and Sustainable Communities is a diverse group of national organizations including:

• American Farmland Trust
• American Planning Association
• The Cloud Institute for Sustainability Education
• CONCERN, Inc.

We have come together to create the Sustainable Schoolyards exhibit and website with the assistance of Bay Tree Design, inc. who provided the eco-schoolyard conceptual framework and developed the design for this exhibit.

The demonstration display is part of the One Planet—Ours! exhibit, which can be viewed at the U.S. Botanic Garden in Washington, D.C. from May 24–October 13, 2008.
