the foliage native to the area. The itinerary can also
consider the time and season and other available
real-time information. An even more specific
situation: visitors might be able to find a specific path
to all the native flowers that are in bloom right now
in an arboretum or park. During their visit they can
also access information contributed by other visitors
such as: ideas for the best places for a picnic.
The overall experience can be dramatically
more individual and specific.
With such tools available the ways
to explore our public spaces can be
endless, ever-changing, and importantly,
increasingly personal.
