AmericanHort, the industry’s new trade association, formally debuted Jan. 1, 2014 following the consolidation of the American Nursery & Landscape Association and OFA – The Association of Horticulture Professionals.
The new organization will represent the whole of the plant industry, including breeders, greenhouse and nursery growers, garden center retailers, distributors, interior and exterior landscapers, florists, students, educators, researchers, manufacturers, and all of those who are part of the industry supply chain.
AmericanHort will have its primary office in Columbus, Ohio, and an office in Washington DC to facilitate government relations and research activities, including the management of the Horticultural Research Institute. AmericanHort will also continue to manage America in Bloom, the industry’s community beautification initiative.
The group’s web site launched with information on membership and basic services. Enhancements to the site and additional membership features will roll out over the coming months.
