Join a community
Explore Communities that follow our Garden Management Track. You can join as many Communities as you’d like!
Our Professional Development Tracks help our Members find Association events, Communities, and resources based on their professional interests, expertise, and goals.
Finance & Operations
The Finance & Operations Community establishes a forum for Chief Financial Officers, Chief Operating Officers, and other operations professionals to get to know one another, share best practices, benchmark key features of particular interest to these roles, and collaborate and share ideas.
Guest Services
The Guest Services Community realizes that for a public garden or arboretum to thrive, we must deliver exceptional service. Attention must be devoted to the safety, needs, and expectations of the visiting public, as well as the fulfillment of the organization’s mission. This community establishes a forum where guest services professionals associated with public gardens and arboreta may become acquainted, share best practices, collaborate, and assist each other with guest services-related issues.
I.D.E.A.
The Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Access (IDEA) Community is a place for all Association members to share resources, receive guidance and support, and build professional networks with a shared goal of increasing equitable access, representation, and benefit sharing at our gardens and in our communities.
