Garden Media Guild







The British Garden Media Guild, (formerly The Garden Writers' Guild), is a trade organisation for professional garden writers, journalists, photographers, broadcasters and members of allied trades. The Guild was established in 1991 to improve the quality of garden writing, photography and broadcasting by improving links between the gardening mass media and the horticultural industry and keeping its members up-to-date with events in the world of gardening and horticulture. The Guild also aims to help its members operate efficiently and profitably and improve liaisons between garden writers, photographers, publishers and more.


Full membership is restricted to those who have been published and are earning a significant level of income from their gardening and horticultural media activities, although Probationary membership can be given for up to three years to anyone seeking to establish themselves as professionals in this field. Associate membership can also be given to those employed in activities closely linked with horticulture and the garden media – examples being PR, marketing and publishing.


The Guild is run by a voluntary committee formed from its members. Its patrons are Alan Titchmarsh MBE, VMH, DL FCIHort, Peter Seabrook MBE, MoH, AH, VMH, FCIHort, Gordon Rae VMH, FCIHort and Roy Lancaster OBE, VMH, FCIHort, FLS.

Guild activities


The Guild's committee organises Briefing Days, during which the horticultural trade and Guild members are made aware of new developments and exchange views. A regular programme of garden visits gives members exclusive behind-the-scenes access to many UK gardens. Training is provided in key areas of horticultural media and publishing. The Guild publishes a quarterly magazine for members and a monthly e-newsletter.


The Professional Garden Photographers' Association (PGPA) is part of the Garden Media Guild. Members of the Guild who are photographers are able to join this Association of more than 100 professional garden photographers from across the UK, Europe, Japan and the USA.

Mononymous person

Image
Plato, the Greek philosopher, is universally known by a single name. A mononymous person is an individual who is known and addressed by a single name, or mononym. [a] [b] In some cases, that name has been selected by the individual, who may have originally been given a polynym ("multiple name"). In other cases, it has been determined by the custom of the country [c] or by some interested segment. In the case of historical figures, it may be the only one of the individual's names that has survived and is still known today.
