The Women's Farm and Garden Association is an organisation for today's gardeners and farmers having, for over one hundred years, provided training, support and a voice for women involved in farming and gardening.
The Association was founded in 1899 by a small group of women who were concerned about the lack of opportunities for training, employment and advancement for women working on the land. Since then it has worked hard to provide the training and opportunities needed, with career advice and practical help to a large number of women. During the first World War the Association launched and ran a Women's Land Corps before the scheme was taken over and run by Government as the Women's Land Army.
More recently, the Association set up its very successful Women Returners to Amenity Gardening Scheme (WRAGS), providing practical training that enables its trainees to take up careers in horticulture.
Members are also offered a large number of practical training courses, workdays and gardening tours.
