About WAFA
 
 
 
 
 

The World Association of Flower Arrangers (WAFA) is a not-for-profit, non-partisan organization of international floral art societies. WAFA recently celebrated its 29th year as the global authority on floral design and aesthetics, acting as a governing body by coordinating floral art events and standards for 30 member countries. Through its worldwide scope, WAFA enhances the diversity of the floral art form by transcending international cultural barriers and bringing together fresh ideas.

The management of WAFA moves from country to country every three years. During its tenure, the host country organizes an International Seminar, stages a World Flower Show, convenes a General Assembly, and plans various other educational events. Previous WAFA host countries were Belgium, Canada, France, Japan, New Zealand, Pakistan, South Africa, and the United Kingdom.

 

WAFA USA

In early 2008, the United States was elected to serve as the host country for WAFA 2008-2011. To facilitate the United States tenure, which culminates in the production of the 2011 World Flower Show, members of two national garden clubs — The Garden Club of America and the National Garden Clubs, Inc. — committed to working together as WAFA USA 2008-2011.

This collaboration marks the first time that these two groups, representing a combined membership of approximately 240,000, have joined in such an effort. The mission of WAFA USA is threefold: education, the promotion of floral art, and the care and conservation of natural resources and the environment.
