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. 
"That is the sort of person one enjoys taking round — the man 
(or woman) who, loving gardens, would go any distance to see one; 
who comes to appreciate, and compare, and admire; who has a garden 
of his own that he lives in and loves; and whose talk and criticisms 
are as dew to the thirsty gardening soul, all too accustomed in this 
respect to droughts. He knows as well as I do, what patience, what 
study and watching, what laughter at failures, what fresh starts with 
undiminished zeal, and what bright unalterable faith are represented 
by the flowers in my garden. He knows what I have done for it, 
and he knows what it has done for me, and how it has been, and will 
be more and more a place of joys, a place of lessons, a place of health, 
a place of miracles, and a place of sure and never changing peace." 
— From "A Solitary Summer" by the author of 
"Elizabeth and her German Garden."
