The Nebraska Association of Nurseryman was established in 1925 to represent the Nebraska Nursery Industry. The nursery and landscape industry has grown a great deal over the years and the group is now the Nebraska Nursery and Landscape Association.

The NNLA has grown to serve members across the state as well as many members outside the borders of Nebraska. Our members consist of retail garden centers, growers, landscape designers and contractors, landscape management firms and consultants, industry suppliers, college faculty, arborists, turf specialists and certified nurserymen.

Nebraska's top industry professionals lead the organization by volunteering on the board of directors and committees and by serving as advisors. These volunteers work to provide education, legislative involvement and certification programs for the industry as well as other member benefits.

The NNLA sponsors the Nebraska Green Expo, a Summer Field Day, training and certification for the Nebraska Certified Nurseryman program, a newsletter, student scholarships, and plant auctions to support university research.

The NNLA mission is "To serve the green industry by educating and supporting our members to successfully improve the quality of our environment."
