The National Gardening Association, founded in 1973, is a national nonprofit leader in plant-based education. Their mission is to promote gardening as a means to renew and sustain the essential connection among people, plants, and the environment. To fulfill this mission, they offer publications and programs focused on five core areas: education, health and wellness, environmental stewardship, community gardening, and responsible home gardening.

According to the NGA, three out of four households in the U.S. (an estimated 82 million households) participated in one or more indoor and outdoor lawn and garden activities in 2004, and one of the biggest trends today is container gardening--indoors or outdoors.
