01What it does

What American Horticulture Industry Association does

Mission

Our mission is to unite, promote, and advance our industry through advocacy, collaboration, connectivity, education, market development, and research.

As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.

Program

  1. On january 1, 2014, American Horticulture Industry Association was born by the consolidation of the american nursery & landscape association and ofa-the association of horticultural professionals. With a combined 220+ years of experience with the whole of the plant and horticulture services industry, americanhort was formed by the anla and ofa members to unify the industry, improve collaboration, increase organizational efficiencies, and expand the support for the industry's businesses. With that goal in mind, americanhort truly represents the entire horticulture industry, including breeders, greenhouse and nursery growers, retailers, distributors, interior and exterior landscapers, florists, students, educators, researchers, manufacturers, and all of those who are part of the industry market chain. It is the leading national association for the industry.

The program described on its FY2023 Form 990.

The organization over time

Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
