A group of landscape professionals is forming a Georgia branch of
the Professional Grounds Management Society, the nation’s oldest
group for grounds professionals.
Now in its 91st year, PGMS caters to the needs of green industry
professionals, including grounds managers, turf specialists,
horticulturists, landscape contractors, irrigation specialists
and chemical applicators.
Its goal is to help develop management skills and enhance
professionalism. Among its benefits are an annual conference and
trade show, newsletter, directory, certification programs, free
manuals and many discounts.
The society also offers a discounted student membership. It
sponsors annual scholarships, too, for high school and college
students. The local branch plans to offer seminars, field trips
and hands-on workshops.
