The Maryland Nursery & Landscape Association (MNLA) rebranded to the Maryland Nursery, Landscape, & Greenhouse Association (MNLGA).
The change, which members approved at the association’s annual meeting in January, comes as a result of the planned dissolution of the former Maryland Greenhouse Growers Association and the invitation for those members to join the existing and renamed association. MNLGA will introduce its revised logo, updated website and publications over the coming months.
“The greenhouse association has collaborated with the MNLA on events, education, industry issues and a myriad of other projects for the past 15 years or more,” said MNLGA Executive Director Vanessa Akehurst Finney. “Inviting them into the renamed association is not only complimentary, (but) it makes MNLGA an even stronger industry voice than it was previously.”
Plus, MNGLA hosts Chessie Green
In addition to its name change, the new MNLGA is hosting the 12th annual Chesapeake Green 2015, aka “Chessie Green,” at the Maritime Institute in Linthicum Heights, Md., Feb. 19-20. The pesticide recertification event and symposium has educated and accommodated the recertification requirements for more than 1,000 industry members throughout the years.
