Crossing Boundaries into Communities
How Professional & Technical Communicators Can Contribute to Interpretive Planning Processes
This research paper describes a multi-disciplinary and community-oriented collaboration focused on developing a master interpretive plan for the state botanical garden of Kentucky, The Arboretum. This collaboration illustrates existing overlaps between two distinct areas of practice: 1) professional and technical communication (PTC) and 2) interpretive planning. To illustrate the role PTC can play in interpretive planning, this paper first presents a brief history of the author’s collaboration with The Arboretum, then describes the interpretive planning process, which includes audience analysis research led by the author.
