Woman's National Farm & Garden Association
The Woman's National Farm & Garden Association (WNF&GA) is an American non-profit organization dedicated to promoting agriculture and horticulture. Membership is open to men and women; chapters are active in the Northeastern United States and the East North Central States.
==History==
The WNF&GA was founded in 1914 as the Women's National Agricultural and Horticultural Association. The name was changed to Woman's National Farm & Garden Association in 1916. The founders included Jane Bowne Haines, Louisa King, Elizabeth Price Martin, Elizabeth Leighton Lee, and Hilda Loines.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.wnfga.org/aboutus/history/ )〕 King served as its first president from 1914 to 1920.
During World War I, WNF&GA joined other groups in organizing the Woman's Land Army of America: women agricultural volunteers replaced men called into military service. The temporary workers were known as "farmerettes."
The organization was an early promoter of horticultural therapy, describing the investigations of Elizabeth Hall in an article in its magazine in 1925. In 1952, Alice Wessels Burlingame initiated a workshop that led to a nine-year study, published as ''Therapy Through Horticulture''. In 1984, WNF&GA established a scholarship in Burlingame's name for undergraduate students in the field of horticultural therapy.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.slideshare.net/pd81xz/zwy183 )〕
