American Society for Horticultural Science

American Society for Horticultural Science ASHS supports science for specialty crops: global solutions for nutritious food sources and healthy, beautiful environments.

We promote and encourage national and international interest in scientific research and education in all areas of horticulture. Established in 1903, the American Society for Horticultural Science is recognized around the world as one of the most respected and influential professional societies for horticultural and plant scientists. ASHS is committed to promoting and encouraging national and inter

national interest in scientific research and education in all branches of horticulture. Comprised of thousands of members worldwide, ASHS represents a broad cross-section of the horticultural community - scientists, educators, students, landscape and turf managers, government, extension agents and industry professionals. ASHS members focus on practices and problems in horticulture: breeding, propagation, production and management, harvesting, handling and storage, processing, marketing and use of horticultural plants and products.
