On behalf of the Association of Zoological Horticulture, we extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who contributed to the success of our 2025 Annual Conference in beautiful Tampa, Florida. From October 16th to 20th, we were thrilled to gather with passionate professionals from across the country to share knowledge, explore innovative horticultural practices, and strengthen the bonds within our vibrant community.

A special thank you goes out to The Florida Aquarium, Zoo Tampa at Lowry Park, and Bok Tower Gardens—for opening their doors and showcasing their exceptional horticultural work. Each venue offered a unique and inspiring experience, reminding us of the vital role plants play in enriching zoological spaces and connecting people to nature.

We are deeply grateful to our sponsors, speakers, workshop leaders, and volunteers whose time, expertise, and enthusiasm made this event truly memorable. Your contributions sparked meaningful conversations, introduced new ideas, and empowered attendees to bring fresh perspectives back to their institutions.

To all who attended—whether this was your first AZH conference or your fifteenth—thank you for your energy, curiosity, and commitment to advancing zoo horticulture. Your presence helped create a welcoming and collaborative atmosphere that defines what AZH is all about.
