For those not currently affiliated with a member garden, we offer a variety of individual membership options. Whether you are:
• interested in entering the field or at the start of your public garden career,
• transitioning between public garden jobs, or
• capping off a career in the industry,
an individual membership will give you access to essential resources and provide valuable networking opportunities.
Please note: if you work at a member garden, you are already a member.
If you work at a non-member garden, please encourage your garden to join as an Institutional member.
If you are selling products or services, you should join as a Corporate member.
