The American Association of Nurserymen and its government nursery production committee
The American Association of Nurserymen was organized in 1975, and has grown steadily as the national trade organization of the nursery/landscape industry. Today it serves about 3,000 member firms involved in the nursery business - wholesale growers, garden center retailers, landscape firms, mailorder nurserymen, and allied suppliers to the horticultural community. The Association serves its members in many ways: national representation on Capitol Hill, in Federal agencies and departments; promotion of the industry and its products to the consumer through a variety of public relations and sales aids and materials, through national public service radio and television announcements, through regular press packages to the nation's top newspapers; management services in the form of valuable reference materials and regularly scheduled clinics and workshops; news, facts, opinions, forecasts distributed regularly to member firms in the form of biweekly and quarterly periodicals and at the annual convention and trade show; consulting services available to members at reduced cost in the areas of transportation, wage-hour regulations and the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA); low-cost group insurance programs; a member bank card plan offering an attractively low discount rate to those firms which accept VISA and Master Charge credit cards.
