Dear Members,
December is fading as January approaches, the rain continues here in Loxley, Alabama. The Christmas Holiday is past and I am looking forward to the New Year and Trade Show season. Our own Gulf State Horticultural Expo (GSHE) is coming along nicely. There has been a focus on maintaining the health and vitality of the show. While expenses have been trimmed, marketing the show has also been kept at a high level.

ALNLA Academic Scholarship Awards |
|
The goal of the ALNLA Academic Scholarship Awards program is to honor the academic achievements of students who have chosen the nursery and landscape industry as their career choice. Furthermore, the program aims to encourage students to stay in this career path and to help them make connections with nursery and landscape employers who are ALNLA members. Six scholarships are awarded every year to deserving students.

The 2007 Economic Impact Study of Alabama’s Green Industry is now printed. One of the benefits of the Economic Impact Study is to educate people on the valuable contributions that our industry makes to the environment and the economy. As the legislative session begins in January, ALNLA will be focusing on our relationship leaders across the state and continue to share with leaders more about the scope of Alabama Green Industry. Thanks to Commissioner Ron Sparks, Department of Ag & industries for funding the Economic Impact of Alabama’s Green Industry.
