The American Conifer Society is a nonprofit organization focused on promoting the use of conifers in gardens and landscapes, while educating the public and professionals about conifer care, propagation, conservation, and appreciation. Based in Maple Grove, Minnesota, the group supports its mission through programs that highlight rare and unusual conifer cultivars, publish a quarterly member journal, and offer regional newsletters and public reference gardens that partner with the society to advance conifer knowledge and display. Members include individuals, corporations, and institutions, with opportunities for discounts at nurseries and access to a membership directory. The organization also administers scholarships and grants to recognize and fund contributions in conifer cultivation, education, conservation, and related research, and it runs programs such as the Collectors’ Conifer of the Year and regional activities tied to reference gardens. A recent collaboration with the Wakefield Trust involved a day of workshops and garden visits at the Wakefield Arboretum, illustrating the society’s engagement with broader horticultural communities.
