National Gardening
Bringing People and Plants Together.
The National Gardening Association is a nonprofit organization established in 1972 to help gardeners, and to help people through gardening.
Educational Programs NGA has long been recognized as a national leader in garden-based education.
This includes providing horticultural and teaching expertise, resources, and networking opportunities to help kids in schools and communities grow.
Our Youth Garden Grants program, begun in 1982, has helped more than 1.2 million youngsters reap the rewards and vital life lessons that green oases offer.
With support from industry sponsors, we now offer an array of grants and awards that recognize exemplary school and community garden projects and leaders and that help launch new programs.
In recent years, we have created international programs so youngsters could exchange gardening and lifestyle information, images, and data with peers in other cultures.
Combined, they feature 2,000 articles, 30,000 FAQs, how-to projects, online courses, seed swaps, a school garden registry, and much more.
Visitors can sign up for free e-newsletters, including NGA's Regional Gardening Reports, with the latest gardening news and tips for 12 regions.
The online NGA Garden Shop and Gardening with Kids stores offer easy shopping for quality plants, supplies, gifts, and educational resources.
In 2002 we returned to our roots as a member organization.
As members of NGA, gardeners and educators join a national network of people who believe in the power of gardening to transform environments, individuals and communities: www.garden.org
