West coast roots that run deep
The Pacific Horticulture Society | PHS, and it’s affiliated chapters, meet our support profile perfectly.For over 30 years, PHS has been inspiring gardeners from British Columbia to Southern California in the art and science of horticulture. PHS provides gardeners with insights, understanding, and timely, in-depth information about plants, design, and landscape environments.
They cover the art and science of West Coast gardening and horticulture by providing a number of opportunities to increase horticultural knowledge through online and print publications, events and expert-led tours. PHS also strives to foster enthusiasm and interest in what bonds gardeners together and inspires them to succeed.
A child of the ’60s starts something big
Pacific Horticulture began in 1968 when three San Francisco Bay Area gardening societies came together to publish a common journal. Later joined by groups in the Pacific Northwest, Los Angeles, and San Diego, PHS became one of the most widely respected, member-supported organizations of its kind.Six sponsoring societies comprise the chapters of PHS which cover the entire Pacific coast. And their quarterly publication, Pacific Horticulture, has been widely recognized as the “go to” journal for in-depth information about plants and how to grow them successful in western environments.
