Not getting worked up, but I find the name National Gardening Association old fashioned and rather pompous as well as not inclusive of all our international gardening friends and wonderful contributors. I mean, would you "belong" to the gardening association of, say, Canada? Simply "Gardens.org" would appeal to me so much more. Just because it's been around for 40 years doesn't make it right.
Other national associations have found it more inclusive and also easier to simplify their names. I belong to what used to be the International Sailing Federation ISAF and they now call themselves simply "World Sailing". The United States Sailing Association is now US Sailing and the Canadian Yachting Association is now Sail Canada.
I really hope Trish and Dave will re-consider the decision to call the site by this name. It also sounds to me like an old people's club that you'd have to pay dues to join.
