Danish Gardeners' Union


The Danish Gardeners' Union was a trade union representing gardeners in Denmark.
The union was founded in 1894, to represent market gardeners and nursery workers, later also covering landscape gardeners. While, in most other countries, gardeners were covered by agricultural workers' unions, in Denmark the agricultural workers joined the Danish General Workers' Union in the 1930s. Nonetheless, the union affiliated to the International Landworkers' Federation. It also joined the Danish Confederation of Trade Unions.
From 1949 to 1959, Jens Risgaard Knudsen was the union's secretary. Membership reached 6,000 by 1971, but the following year, it merged into SiD.
