The Tennessee Nursery & Landscape Association was founded in 1905 as an organization where nursery and other related industries would have the opportunity to share ideas, foster research and further educate our members in order to benefit owners, employees and consumers.

Throughout our 118 year history in Tennessee, TNLA has seen tremendous growth in membership and services provided. Because of this growth, TNLA has evolved from The Tennessee Nursery Association (TNA) into The Tennessee Nursery and Landscape Association, Inc.

Today, TNLA hosts a trade show (TNGRO www.tngro.com), sponsors seminars, offers scholarships, sponsors a field day, maintains a website, liaisons with American Hort nationally and TSU’s Nursery Research Station locally, provides advocacy for industry-related issues with TDA, and much more for our members. Currently, around 300 companies benefit through their TNLA membership. They come from every part of the industry: nursery production, landscaping, irrigation and lawn care.

Our goals include making every nursery owner, landscaper, and garden center in the state aware of our organization, and giving them the opportunity to benefit from the services provided. The ultimate goal of TNLA is to increase the production and marketing of Tennessee grown nursery crops.

What each of us do is important and when we join together for common purposes, we are unstoppable.
