Garden Professional Sections are sections of similar gardens that provide a variety of networking and information sharing opportunities for Institutional members only. Each Section has its own area of the website where it will provide useful information and opportunities for interaction among garden section members. For information about becoming a member of a Garden Professional Section, email Tracy Matthews, APGA Membership Manager at tmatthews@publicgardens.org for information on joining the Association, click Join APGA Now located on the left menu bar.

Below is a brief description of APGA's Garden Professional Sections.

College and University Garden Section
The College and University Garden Section examines the ways in which college and university affiliated gardens can serve their primary audiences of faculty, students , staff, and the general public through the development of collections, educational programs, interpretation, and research efforts.

Small Gardens Section
The Small Garden Professional Section provides a forum for communication and problem solving issues specific to Small Public Gardens. The challenges facing smaller public gardens are often very different from those of large public gardens.

Historic Landscapes Section
The Historic Landscapes Professional Section seeks to promote the importance and understanding of historic landscapes to all professionals in the public garden community and to encourage agreement about one big idea, which is that every public garden is or will be historic in some way, either now or in the future.





The APGA is committed to providing networking opportunities for all of our members. If you are interested in creating a new Garden Professional Section, please contact Tracy Matthews, APGA Membership Manager at tmatthews@publicgardens.org or (302) 655-7100 ext 14 to learn how.
