Accreditation

The PGMS® Landscape Management and Operations Accreditation program ran from 2014 - 2023. It was a dynamic evaluation tool utilized by facilities and organizations that have a landscape services or grounds component. Through peer expertise, the program evaluated strategic grounds management principles and practices that produce attractive, healthy, sustainable and high quality properties.

 

Certification

One of the most important things that you can do to advance your career is to continue your professional development. Demonstrate your commitment to grounds management and your career by becoming a Certified Grounds Manager (CGM®) or Certified Grounds Technician (CGT).

Green Star Awards

The annual Green Star Awards® Program brings national recognition to grounds maintained with a high degree of excellence. The program complements other national landscape award programs that recognize outstanding landscape design and construction.  This program salutes the grounds superintendent responsible for maintaining a well-manicured landscape year round. Grand, Honor and Merit Awards are offered in 15 categories, covering all types of private, public commercial and industrial landscapes. To qualify for entry, a landscape must be at least two years old and under your continuous maintenance for at least two years.

Scholarships

Each year the PGMS scholarship committee awards monetary scholarships to students in horticulture or related fields. Applicants must be at least in their first year of college or may be recently graduated from high school (within the calendar year).
