Humble Beginnings
This association was formed when Fairfax County was young and on the cusp of huge growth. At that time a small band of local nurserymen and landscapers felt an association was needed for the following reasons stated in the original book of minutes. Our History

Accepting Nominations
Time is quickly approaching to turn over the reigns to someone new. We are looking for your help to find the best people to fill out our board and officer positions. If you think you or any of your staff would like to be a part of all we have to offer, please fill out our Nomination Form.
We are looking for:
- Officers
- Committee members
- Volunteers
Board member activities include monthly virtual board meetings, four general membership meetings a year, a winter seminar and summer field day and occasional community service projects.
Board membership can be tailored to fit your schedule. It is a volunteer organization, so
we realize that not every meeting will interest you or fit your schedule. Members are
given time to see where they fit in, what they have to offer and what will help them grow!
Meet Our Sponsors
These trusts, foundations and other organisations are making important contributions to our association.
