Heron,
The moment anyone creates written, graphic, or musical material, the ownership resides with the creator. Only they can transfer their rights to another person, company, or organization. Failure to have a a precise written contract to transfer these rights for a specific temporary or permanent time period can result in a lot of unpleasantness and legal expenses.
The Garden Writer Association is a professional group that consists of individuals who write articles and books on horticultural subjects.
Appropriating someone's creative effort can be consider plagiarism or theft.
A signed release form solves the problem and should be a common practice whenever an article is accepted for publication. This is a simple concept that is being ignored by most non-profit horticultural organizations and will eventually cause problems if not addressed as groups use the internet and CDs to distribute their publications.

call ourselves garden writers writing for a publication. Even those you may be
"garden writers" in other fields or as a career a would feel would have little
claim to their rights beyond their vote on whether or not to create a
compedium.
I would be very suprized if any members exercised obstructionist legal
manuveurs
to protect some very undefined rules as to where copyrights apply to
round-robin
exchanges between members of a non-profit already published in a quarterly
manner. But I agree a legal inquiry is welcome. I think researching this is a
very good idea to confirm or allay concerns.
