National Garden Bureau is a nonprofit organization founded in 1920 with a mission to disseminate basic instructions for home gardeners while also serving the needs of its members. NGB publishes and sponsors the annual “Year Of” program, New Plants, Garden Products, a Therapeutic Garden Grant, Market Share Surveys and more.
All-America Selections was founded in 1932 and continues as the oldest independent plant testing organization trialing in North America. Every year, never-before-sold varieties are trialed in our Trial Grounds where professional horticulturists determine which varieties will be deemed winners based on their garden performance. AAS relies upon a public relations program to inform gardeners about AAS Winners that are announced three times a year.
