Our Work
As the leading voice of horticulture in our Pacific region for today and future generations, we spread ideas that grow our gardens and landscapes to achieve climate resilience, steward biodiversity, and connect people with nature.
We achieve this by sharing optimistic stories on new media platforms. As an education focused non-profit, we are committed to speaking in conversational, optimistic language that includes everyone.
Our Members
Our members are essential to our impact. Pacific Horticulture represents a diversity of people who are making the Pacific region more livable, healthful, habitat supporting, and resilient through garden and landscape stewardship.
Our network of allies includes gardeners, designers, scientists, horticulturists, nursery growers, educators, students, and everyone interested in climate solutions through gardening.
If you live in the Pacific region, you know that seasons in your garden look different from the rest of North America. Our resources serve (but are not limited to) California, Oregon, Washington, British Columbia, Hawaii, Alaska, and Baja California.
Areas of Impact
Seven Topics Represent “Pillar” Areas of Impact
Growing for Biodiversity digs deeper into ecologically functional gardening that supports food webs and pollinators, and includes native and keystone plants and minimizes lawn.
Drought and Fire Resilience delves into water-wise design and protection from wildfire, especially in the wildland urban interface.
Plants You Need takes a closer look at plants that thrive in our region and benefit the habitats, wildlife, and people that reside here.
Nature Is Good for You spotlights the power of gardens as a tool to support mental and physical health.
Sustainable Gardening provides the latest information on green infrastructure, stewardship awareness, and precious resources.
Garden Futurist (inspired in part by the eponymous podcast) addresses future livability on a human scale, embracing research and innovation while respecting cultural knowledge and inclusion, to connect people with nature.
Inspired Gardens and Design elevates garden designs that are supportive of our ecosystems, climate resilience, and the health of people in our communities—which aligns with Pacific Horticulture’s annual Design Futurist Award.
Diversity Statement
Pacific Horticulture is committed to creating an inclusive, equity-based, community-focused organization that is committed to the health and conservation of both human communities and the environment.
We recognize that including, collaborating with, and lifting up all voices in the Pacific Horticulture community requires a focused awareness, which will take time to achieve. By committing to be humble and persistent, Pacific Horticulture strives to inspire environmental stewardship and improve human health by the promotion and implementation of fair, equal, and power-balanced leadership practices.
We believe that a diverse blend of perspectives, ideas, and viewpoints are essential to building a resilient world dependent on the thoughtful cultivation of plants.
