Dear List -- we read with interest the informative exchange concerning audience development and 
interactive gardens. We're totally in favor of more green spaces!!

To learn how the many options for audience development -- such as gardens, expansions, and other 
ideas -- are vetted and evaluated in an objective strategic planning process, this recent article from 
Museum Design Magazine will be useful reading. It tells how The Children's Museum of the Desert 
near Palm Springs, California successfully weighed their options and made significant changes -- 
during tough times.
