Our mission at ASHS is the advancement of horticultural science and knowledge. This professional scientific Annual Conference brings together more than 1200 horticulturists from the United States and around the world to share cutting-edge research, new training methods, and more. ASHS also organizes and co-sponsors other horticultural meetings and educational programs . ASHS Press and Serial Publications ASHS also provides publishing outlets for horticultural information. ASHS journals provide a forum for scientific research, colloquia proceedings, and feature articles.
Horticulturists find the journal articles timely and beneficial to their own research or field work.
ASHS Press books cover a wide range of topics important to horticulturists, from reference materials to the latest research findings. In addition, ASHS also helps horticulturists to find jobs, fellowships and assistantships through HortOpportunities . Employers advertise various horticultural job openings, which are published monthly in the ASHS Newsletter. These positions are also listed on the HortOpportunities web page, where they remain until the position is filled or until the application deadline passes. During the Annual Conference, ASHS provides a Placement Services Office, where we facilitate job interviews between prospective employers and interested candidates.
