The objects of this association shall be: To stimulate the knowledge and love of gardening among 
amateurs; to share the advantages of association, through conference and correspondence in this 
country and abroad; to aid in the protection of native plants and birds; and to encourage civic planting. 
Meanwhile the mind from pleasure less 
Withdraws into its happiness; 
The mind, that ocean where each kind 
Does straight its own resemblance find; 
Yet it creates, transcending these, 
Far other worlds, and other seas; 
Annihilating all thafs made 
To a green thought in a green shade. 
From Andrew Marvel's 
Thoughts in a Garden.
