Great things happen when people come together.
Great things happen when people come together.
Since 1932, the Colorado Nursery & Greenhouse Association (CNGA) has brought together the people and businesses that shape our industry. From growers and garden centers to suppliers, wholesalers, educators, students and industry partners, our community spans Colorado, New Mexico and beyond.
We're here to connect people, share knowledge, support businesses and make sure our industry has a strong voice. Along the way, we've built something just as valuable: Lasting friendships, trusted partnerships and a community that shows up for one another.
What Brings Us Together - Our Core Pillars
Fellowship - Connections That Matter
Some of the best conversations happen outside the office. From member BBQs and nursery tours to industry celebrations and our Women in Horticulture Luncheon, we create opportunities to meet peers, share ideas and build relationships that last.
Education - Learning From One Another
There's always something new to learn in horticulture. Through workshops, plant walks, ProGreen EXPO, online videos and trusted resources, we connect professionals with practical knowledge and the people who know it best.
Advocacy - A Voice for Our Industry
We make sure the people and businesses behind horticulture have a seat at the table. Through local, state and national advocacy, we help keep members informed and speak up on issues that affect our industry.
Certification - Knowledge You Can Count On
Our professional certification programs recognize expertise, strengthen credibility and help horticulture professionals take the next step in their careers.
Our Mission
CNGA creates opportunities for horticultural and associated industry professionals to collaboratively grow their businesses through fellowship, education, advocacy and certification.
