Enter your garden in ACGA's 2023
Community garden contest
Every community garden is special, ACGA knows, but we invite you to share all the reasons why your garden especially stands out. Enter our BEST OF competition, open to all our member gardens. We will publicize and celebrate the winners at our conference in Houston this fall. The grand prize winner can win a free admission to the Houston Conference, or a garden-themed award.
It's easy to apply. Just click on our entry form and follow instructions, and upload a few pictures that show us what you're up to. Contact info@communitygarden.org if you have any questions. Good luck!
President's message
Pack your bags, we are all going to Houston, Texas!
The American Community Gardening Association (ACGA) will host our National Conference, September 27-31, 2023. If you are interested in urban agriculture then you should be a part of the amazing conference. This is the perfect opportunity for you to learn, share, network and have a stomping good time with all types of people in the greening movement. We welcome everyone to this conference, with its inspiring theme of “Celebrating The Diversity In Growing". Community Gardens are diverse and inclusive, we value diversity of age, race, gender, orientation, perspective and approach. If you have not yet registered, please go to our website communitygarden.org and sign up.
See Y’all in H-Town,
Cathy Walker, President
