The Horticultural Research Institute (HRI) and AmericanHort announced the formation of a strategic alliance to support and promote research benefiting all horticulture industries. The collaboration will accelerate research efforts in the areas of industry survival issues, sustainability, marketing, and technology.

The new alliance brings together HRI’s 52-year history as a horticulture industry research and educational foundation and AmericanHort’s vision to unite, promote, and advance the profession. AmericanHort was launched January 1 through the consolidation of the American Nursery & Landscape Association (ANLA) and OFA - The Association of Horticulture Professionals.
The Horticultural Research Institute’s mission is to direct, fund, promote, and communicate horticulture research. The strategic alliance with AmericanHort is another example of how HRI collaborates to build prosperous businesses, advance the green industry, and fulfill its core vision.
