The Aquatic Gardeners Association, Inc. is an international nonprofit
organization of aquatic plant enthusiasts, which appeals to both beginners and
experienced hobbyists alike. The AGA publishes a (paper) quarterly journal called
The Aquatic Gardener (or TAG
), the only English language
journal devoted to aquarium plants and planted aquaria. AGA
members receive a FREE subscription to TAG and all
special publications. Members also can purchase back issues,
DVDs, and t-shirts. We also hold a bi-annual convention and an online aquascaping contest.
At long last, registration is now available for the AGA 2019 convention, which will be held May 2-5 in Seattle, Washington. We have a full lineup of speakers, an aquascaping demo from Dennis Wong, two workshops, the Saturday night banquet featuring a second talk from Christel Kasselmann, and a field trip to the Amazon Spheres... plus so many vendors, we had to have two rooms! See all the details at our convention website and hope to see you in Seattle next May!
We are pleased to announce the results of the 2018 AGA International Aquascaping Contest are now available for viewing. Congratulations to the winners and thank you to all the participants!
