Recently celebrating its 75th anniversary, this educational, non-profit organization evaluates new seed-grown flowers and vegetables from around the world to recommend the best each year to gardeners. The National Gardening Association at the Vermont Garden Park, 1100 Dorset Street receives the award winner seeds of the current year, which are then grown by the Garden Park volunteers. The Garden Park is one of two All America Selections certified display gardens in Vermont. The other is by Dr. Leonard Perry and UVM students at the Burlington waterfront.
