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 thii 
country and abroad; to aid in the protection of native plants and birds; and to encourage civic planting. 
I know the secrets of the seeds of flowers 
Hidden and warm with showers, 
And how, in kindling spring, the cuckoo shall 
Alter his interval. 
But not a flower or song I ponder is 
My own, but memory's. 
I shall be silent in those days desired 
Before a world inspired. 
Alice Meynell.
