The Indiana Nursery and Landscape Association is a not-for-profit trade organization serving the Indiana Green Industry.
We strive to increase the ethics, principles, and proficiency of the Green Industry through seminars, trade shows and functions, certification programs, and by acting as a promoter of the industry through the condemnation of all practices which tend to discredit or injure industry relations. We encourage fair trade practices, customer service, and overall excellence within the Green Industry.
