Unions and Associations
There are no unions for horticultural inspectors. Those in the field can join professional organizations such as the Horticultural Inspection Society, which offers networking opportunities and publishes a newsletter. The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service is a major employer of inspectors. The National Plant Board is a nonprofit organization of the plant pest regulatory agencies of all 50 states, Puerto Rico, and Guam.
