- El Consorcio de Colecciones de Plantas de América del Norte (North American Plant Collections Consortium) (NAPCC), es un grupo de jardines botánicos y arboretum de Norteamérica con la intención de mejorar las colecciones de plantas vivas del continente, y para mejorar las disponibilidades de germoplasma de las plantas. El consorcio está administrado por la American Public Gardens Association (APGA) (Asociación de Jardines Públicos Americanos). Según la página de internet del consorcio, se marcan tres metas estratégicas:
* Incrementar el número de las colecciones del NAPCC con vistas a representar el mayor número de géneros de plantas ornamentales que se pueda encontrar entre los jardines miembros del APGA;
* Facilitar la coordinación de las colecciones de plantas del NAPCC ; y
* Incrementar los estándares curativos de las plantas medicinales que se albergan en los jardines públicos. El consorcio tiene la intención de tener representadas en sus colecciones las plantas ornamentales tanto de porte arbóreo como herbáceo, nativas y exóticas. El objetivo principal para cada miembro del consorcio es reunir el grupo de plantas más completo posible dentro de un determinado taxón, recogiendo las plantas de diversas poblaciones que tienen taxonómicamente y genéticamente una procedencia de la gama silvestre de las plantas. Con fecha de marzo del 2006, los miembros del consorcio y sus colecciones son:

- The Plant Collections Network (PCN) (formerly the North American Plant Collections Consortium) is a group of North American botanical gardens and arboreta that coordinates a continent-wide approach to plant germplasm preservation, and promotes excellence in plant collections management. The program is administered by the American Public Gardens Association from its headquarters in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania in collaboration with the USDA- Agricultural Research Service. Current objectives of the Plant Collections Network are to:
* Build Awareness – of both Plant Collections Network & value of documented plant collections
* Promote Standards of Excellence – in plant collections management; and
* Expand Diversity of Collections – target existing collections, identify gaps for future collections The network is intended to represent woody and herbaceous ornamentals, both native and exotic. The main objective for each network member is to assemble a comprehensive group of plants for a particular taxon, collecting plants from different populations throughout their natural range that are both taxonomically and genetically distinct. Participating institutions maximize the potential value of their collections by making efficient use of available resources through a coordinated continent-wide approach, and strengthening their own collections through collaboration with others. Criteria for participation in the Plant Collections Network are:
* American Public Gardens Association membership
* Active collections management program including plant records database, accession labels, maps
* Long-term commitment to maintain collection
* Endorsement of governing body
* Current collection has 50% or more of ultimate collection scope
* Collections policy
* Curator for collection; and
* Access to collection for research, evaluation and plant introduction The accreditation process includes submitting a written application for each collection to be considered, then a peer site reviewer conducts an onsite assessment and submits a report with recommendations.
