Book excerpt: The International Conference on Urban Horticulture was organised by the University of Applied Sciences Waedenswil (UASW) under the auspices of the International Society for Horticultural Science (ISHS) and took place from September 2 to 6, 2002. The program included over 80 presentations on the relationship "People - Plants - Quality of Life". The working hypothesis was "the creation of gardens and open spaces together with the way plants are used as reliable indicators of a permanently changing understanding of nature". This hypothesis resulted in five main topics which were organised into five one-day-sessions: plants and society, public green, plant use and garden design, assortment development, and ecological engineering and urban agriculture.
