Coalition Of American Plant Societies

Coalition of American Plant Societies

The Coalition of American Plant Societies (CAPS) was started in 2012 to provide a forum for the leaders of national plant societies.These annual “summits” provide an avenue to discuss common opportunities and challenges, to network, and to foster mutual success.It is hoped that through this sharing, individual organizations would be better able to address challenges within their own organization.We have learned that the plant societies had many common challenges.

The National Chrysanthemum Society participated in the meetings in 2013 and 2014. The following organizations participated in 2014:

  1. African Violet Society of America http://www.avsa.org/
  2. American Camellia Society http://www.camellias-acs.com/
  3. American Conifer Society http://conifersociety.org/
  4. American Daffodil Society http://daffodilusa.org/
  5. American Dahlia Society http://www.dahlia.org/
  6. American Horticulture Society http://ahsgardening.org/
  7. American Iris Society http://www.irises.org/

  10. American Rose Society https://www.rose.org/

Each organization’s website link is shown above. We hope that we will seek out those that are of interest to you, or even better, review each because you might find a new interest. We have put together a page with some ideas from these we hope you will add to.
