The International Garden Centre Association exists to provide a forum for the mutual exchange of information and benefit of similar minded independent garden retailers on a world-wide basis.

The objective is achieved through:
An Annual Congress held for one week in the fall, each year in a different host country. This comprises of a business meeting, which elects officials and administers the affairs of the Association, a concentrated business study tour and an excellent social programme. Individual Study Tours organised on an ad hoc basis by national groups which have special learning requirements.
