American Public Gardens Association
The American Public Gardens Association is advancing public gardens as a force for positive change in their communities through leadership, innovation, and advocacy, and envisions a world where public gardens are indispensable.
Founded in 1940 as the American Association of Botanical Gardens and Arboreta, the American Public Gardens Association (APGA) adopted a new name in 2006. Over the last six decades, the APGA has emerged as the premiere association for public gardens in North America. Today, APGA's 500 member institutions are located in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Canada and seven other countries. The Association's individual members live in every state, the District of Columbia, Canada, and 24 other countries. For more information, go to www.publicgardens.org.
