Each year we feature a different host city in Montana to enjoy the Summer Tour. MNLA Members in the host city put together a tour of some of the most beautiful, successful, and enriching horticulture-related businesses and sites in the area for us to tour. The Tour is a two-day event, consisting of:

• Day One:
• Certified Plant Professional (CPP) Exam
• Kick-Off Dinner
• Day Two:
• Site tours around the host city

Registration for Tour includes the Kick-Off Dinner, as well as breakfast and lunch on Tour Day.

The Summer Tour is also one of the two times a year that the Certified Plant Professional (CPP) Exam is offered. Separate registration is required for the CPP Exam. You can register for the exam online, or by downloading the registration form and submitting it to the MNLA office. More information on the CPP program can be found here.

Thank you to all of the MNLA members who are helping plan this year's Summer Tour!! Hollie and Bev Gutman of Marchie's Nursery, Sandy Perrin of Missoula Co. Extension, Pat Appleby of Compost Happens Gardening, Bill Caras of Caras Nursery, John Spray of The Good Earth Works Co., and Matt Watts and Aaron Mihelish of Pro Sweep Plus.
