Established in 1951, the ALabama Nursery & Landscape Association (ALNLA) is a professional association for those involved in and allied to the ornamental horticulture industry. Our Economic Impact Study shows what we suspected to be true—our industry contributes a whopping 1.9 billion dollars, including 31,000 jobs, to the economy of our state annually. The mission of the ALNLA, a non-profit trade association whose business is conducted by an elected board of directors, is to promote the success and professionalism of its membership. Through its annual Gulf States Horticulture Expo, educational seminars around the state, participation in the Southeast Greenhouse Conference, and the Southern Nursery Association, and its links with other organizations both in Alabama and across the nation, the ALNLA strives to provide the information and support to make your business more efficient and profitable. Together we can accomplish goals that might be impossible for an individual business alone.
