The Greater Birmingham Association of Landscape Professionals was created to promote the Landscape Contractor profession in the Birmingham Metro area.

Our objective is to work together to market and promote the industry, inform and educate our members and the general public, and through our membership offer professional products and services.

The AGITC serves as a venue for many GBALP activities, including quarterly association meetings and networking opportunites, and as a site for many GBALP sponsored classes.

The major membership activity each year is the Winter Expo held at the Birmingham Botanical Gardens.
