See attached schedule and instructions for registering for a NC State Extension training in preparation for the September 15, 2026 North Carolina Nursery & Landscape Association (NCNLA) Certified Plant professional (CPP) Exam with Live Plant ID.

The training will begin in Wilson, NC and also potentially meet in Wayne, Wake, or Chatham Counties.

Training dates/times are August 4, 11, 18, and 25 from 9 am to 4 pm.

The training cost is $200 per person (check preferred, cash accepted, no accomodation for credit card) and does not include NCNLA CPP Exam registration, which can be completed at CPP Registration.

You get 4 days of focused training with professionals who are all Certified Plant Professionals and have over 70 years combined ornamental horticulture experience that will guide you (if you choose to accept the challenge and fully participate) to success and recognition as a NCNLA CPP.
