About GardenComm
The community where garden communicators grow together
FGardenComm is the professional association for garden and horticulture communicators. Founded in 1948 as the Garden Writers Association of America, GardenComm: Garden Communicators International serves professionals who create, share, interpret, and promote information about gardening, plants, horticulture, and the green industry.
What began as an association of garden writers and authors has evolved to represent writers, authors, editors, photographers, speakers, educators, podcasters, broadcasters, digital creators, marketers, public relations professionals, and other experts working across garden media and the horticulture industry.
GardenComm connects these professionals with education, professional development, recognition, industry resources, and one another while helping credible garden and horticultural information reach consumers, businesses, media, and the green industry.
GardenComm is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization, granted tax-exempt status in October 2002.
Our mission is to empower, connect, and advance garden communicators across all forms of media, supporting those who inform and influence public understanding of gardening, sustainability, and the natural world. Our goal is to provide garden communicators with opportunities for education, recognition, and career development while sharing trusted information and fostering an inclusive, collaborative community.
