APGA has partnered with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to create the Climate and Sustainability Alliance. The Alliance promotes the exchange of information related to global climate change. The Alliance has created the Public Gardens Sustainability Index to offer best practices for gardeners with consideration of the financial, environmental, and social impacts of sustainability decisions.[1]
The Association also administers the Plant Collections Network. As part of this program, APGA has since 1995 partnered with the United States Department of Agriculture’s Agricultural Research Service and the National Arboretum to accredit exceptional public gardens.[2]
