Nursery Associations

Most states have a nursery association whose purpose is to foster the industry within that state. In the case of some smaller states, a regional association may be the only alternative. Nursery associations provide a range of support to nurseries including educational sessions, publications, and trade shows. Trade shows are a great place to show your wares, contact suppliers, or to simply learn about the nursery industry in your state. To determine if your state association has a trade show, contact the association directly.
