As a plantscaper, I recognize the golden rule as being a guide for everyday business life and, in applying it, I strive to adhere to the following principles:

• To practice that fundamental honesty which is the foundation of all worth endeavours;
• To be proud of my occupation as a plantscaper and the opportunity it affords me to serve others;
• To make no false claims in advertising my products or services and to display the official emblem or sign of the Association only as long as I am a member in good standing;
• To remember that, in building up my own business, it is not necessary to tear down another's;
• To be loyal to my customers and true to myself;
• To foster every movement toward a higher standard in our industry, to the end that the customer will be offered first quality material and the best service;
• To display the emblem of the Association as an indication to the public that I stand by this code;
• To improve and promote social and business friendship and understanding between members.
