Member Approved Program

Get the recognition your plants and garden products deserve with a GardenComm "Member Approved" seal of approval. As a trusted source of horticultural professionals, our esteemed member volunteer group, tests your products in their own gardens, across the country. Each member provides feedback and a performance rating. If approved, GardenComm will issue its member seal of approval to feature in your printed and online sales materials.

How Does the Program Work?

Start by sending your product or plant out to a minimum of 25 GardenComm members, or more. Our members will test them in their gardens, in-season, complete a feedback form based on a predetermined list of criteria, and rate the product based on their individual experience. GardenComm members will be encouraged to provide feedback to the manufacturer, supplier, or grower, with insights and suggested improvements for future products.

The plant or product will be rated by members on a scale from 1 to 5. If it receives a passing score, 75%+ from our members, it will receive a registered seal of approval.

How Does the Program Work?

This program is open to GardenComm Allied Members at a discounted rate, and available to non-member manufacturers as well. If you're a manufacturer, grower or supplier, consider becoming a member as some levels include a complimentary entry into the program. Not only can you receive a Member Approved seal of approval for your product, you will also gain the many benefits of an Allied trade membership offers.
