AHS Green Garage^®

The American Horticultural Society is proud to be part of the United States Botanic Garden’s summer exhibition, One Planet – Ours! Sustainability for the 22nd Century. The AHS Green Garage showcases the tools, equipment, materials, and techniques that support sustainable gardening. The Green Garage is designed to challenge and encourage people to make earth-friendly choices while creating and maintaining a beautiful and thriving garden.

Looking into the display, you will find many ways to improve your garden’s “green factor.” From plant choices and beneficial insects to a green roof, there are dozens of options—large and small—that every gardener can include in their urban, suburban, or country home and landscape.

The Green Garage is also a permanent display at River Farm, the AHS's headquarters located in Alexandria, Virginia, which is open to the public.

Additionally, the Green Garage appears in the AHS’s magazine, The American Gardener, as a department that focuses on current research, gardening products, and efficient strategies for environmentally friendly gardening.
