 PGMS
Branches > DC Branch
The
D.C. Branch of PGMS was founded in 1929 as the National Association
of Gardeners.
Our
membership consists of individuals throughout the metropolitan Washington
area who are managers of parks, recreation areas, golf courses,
botanical gardens, institutions, grounds maintenance contractors
and allied suppliers of equipment and materials. These include assistant
managers, agriculture extension agents, research people and others
who are horticulturally qualified.
The
branch holds regular meetings, usually on the first Thursday of
the month at places of various members in the area. The meetings
consist of an educational program concerning a grounds management
related topic, a short business meeting concerning issues of importance
to the branch, followed by light refreshments and a chance for members
to exchange individual problems and solutions informally.
