US President Barack Obama, the host for the G20 Summit in Pittsburgh, seems to have a clear message to send while choosing the Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Garden as the venue for the inaugural reception for invited leaders.
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, here for the two-day summit at Obama’s invitation, will get to see and explore the grand steel and glass Victorian greenhouse that stands at one of Pittsburgh’s largest green spaces.
With the US pushing its own agenda for other countries to ensure their commitment to reducing emissions, the garden is seen as the right choice as it has become a string advocate for green building practices, sustainable gardening and new environment awareness in the US.
