Refer a new member to join ACS, and your name will be entered into a drawing for a $100 gift certificate from Western Evergreen Nursery courtesy of Jason Hupp and family! The society offers great ways to meet other coneheads at meetings and on tours, so encourage other gardeners to join. The more people who put your name in the “Referring Member” field on their application, the more entries you earn!

This contest will run for one year, and every six months we will have a new winner! For example, the first drawing will be held at the beginning of May 2026 for referrals earned between November 2025 through April 2026.

Don't forget to tell your referrals to include your name on their member application! If you would like business cards or fliers to distribute with ACS info, please contact the office at nationaloffice@conifersociety.org.

Western Evergreen has been growing amazing conifers for many years and has a great selection and wonderful plants. They recently opened a retail store—check it out at https://shop.westernevergreen.com. Thank you, Jason, for sponsoring this membership recruitment initiative!

Good luck recruiting!

We wanted to let you in on an awesome perk that you might not have heard about yet - it's all about doubling up on the conifer fun.

So, when you became a member, you actually unlocked not just one, but two membership spots.  Yep, you read that right!  There's a primary spot, which is yours and is full of all the conifer goodness you've been enjoying.  But here's where it gets exciting: there's also a secondary spot just waiting for you to fill.  For household memberships, you can add another person who lives at your same address, such as a spouse or a family member.  For organization memberships, you can add a second person for your organization.

We hope you'll take advantage of this special benefit and spread the conifer love.  Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or need a hand setting it up.  Can't wait to see your conifer crew grow!
