We will, to the best of our ability, treat each and every member equally and fairly.
We will listen to concerns of our members and strive for resolutions to problems.
We will continue to improve our organization for the benefit of our members.
We will share gardening tips and information and help to encourage new members and new gardeners.
We will encourage individuals and families to enjoy gardening together.
The hobby of gardening should be fulfilling, rewarding, and above all fun for everyone involved.

2006-10-07 : In case you haven't noticed, the site is need of some major clean-up. I'm hoping to get that done by the end of this weekend. Also, photos AND VIDEOS will be available from the weighoff, as well as full results as soon as they are sent to me.

2006-02-28 : Yippee! Tiny little CSS update. Footers are now slightly less annoying!

2006-01-28 : Don't miss the IGPGA Seed Auction on www.BigPumpkins.com tonight at 7 P.M. CST (8 P.M. EST).

2005-06-28 : I've been quite busy lately, so I haven't gotten around to updating the Members section yet. Hopefully, I'll get around to it some time this week.

2005-06-20 : WELCOME TO IGPGA ONLINE 2.0! Whew! It's finally done! Let me know what you think by visiting the message board or by sending me an email at webmaster@igpga.org. The Members Only section will be updated within the next few days. Sorry about the lag.

2005-05-24 : JavaScript pop up ads are now being added to the site. This is only a temporary solution to the advertisement issue. I plan to integrate ads directly into the HTML in the future, perhaps after the upcoming code revamp. On that topic - please send all design comments to the Webmaster ASAP!

2005-05-14 : The IGPGA Member sections are now open. Check out the Message Board for more details, or contact the Webmaster.
