Supported in part by the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society, ACGA maintains a national office in Philadelphia. ACGA Board members answer hundreds of requests for information each year about community gardening and greening. They offer support, coach fledgling groups, and wherever possible, connect programs with specific challenges to programs which have already worked through similar situations. By becoming ACGA members, gardening professionals and volunteers maintain contact with others throughout the U.S., keeping abreast of the latest techniques and developments in the field. ACGA, its Board of Directors, and its organizational and individual members represent and support all aspects of community food and ornamental gardening, urban forestry, and the preservation and management of open space.
Assistance is available to identify potential resources and address specific technical matters.
Information, experiences and fun are shared through workshops, seminars, special interest groups sessions, tours, and informal discussions. We now have an online membership form to make it easier and faster to process your ACGA membership. As of this time we are not able to accept online payment but expect to be able to do so soon. For now an invoice will be mailed to you shortly after your online registration has been processed.
