This course is designed to supplement study for landscape professionals interested in becoming a Certified Nursery Landscape Professional (CNLP). Select topics from the CNLP Training Manual will be reviewed. Folks new to horticulture, landscape management, and nursery production are welcome and encouraged to participate even without intention of becoming a CNLP.
