National Garden Bureau Publishes New 2023-24 Annual Report

NGB 2023-2024 Annual Report cover | National Garden Bureau
National Garden Bureau (NGB) and All-America Selections just released the first Annual Report for the newly combined organizations that highlights the varied programs and promotions the (now singular) organization has accomplished in the past year.
As Alicain Carlson, President of the NGB and Head of Marketing at Syngenta Flowers, writes, “We are about halfway through our first year as a combined organization with All-America Selections now under the umbrella of National Garden Bureau. It’s been a process to restructure an organization that had an entirely separate board of directors, budget, and activities to be one broader organization with those same parts. With patience, smart people, and time, the full benefits of this change will be realized.”
The NGB-AAS Annual Report is designed to give insights into the organization’s trial activities, marketing efforts, promotional efforts, and accomplishments, as well as its current financial standing.
