  2-Wire Irrigation Workshop

  1:00 pm - 4:00 pm

  
  

  
  

  This workshop is brought to you by the MNLA Bozeman Chapter as a follow-up to the irrigation meeting we held last year. Many of you asked for a more in-depth, hands-on workshop - here it is! 

  
  

  This 3-hour course is presented by HydroPoint, and will focus on 2-wire Irrigation Wiring troubleshooting and best practices.

  
  

  Whether you're training new crew members or looking to fine-tune your own skills, this workshop will give you tools and knowledge you can implement this season. Bring your questions - time will be reserved at the end of the workshop for Q&A. 

  
  

  
  

  RSVP by April 29th - free for MNLA members, offered to non-members for a fee.

  Prove your plant knowledge!
  

  The next Certified Plant Professional (CPP) Exam will take place on Thursday, July 24th from 1:00 - 5:00 pm, in Kalispell, MT.

  Eligible applicants need to apply online by following the link to register, or submit a completed application, documentation of nursery employment and the appropriate fees to the MNLA office by July 15th. 

  LODGING: A discounted room block will be secured, allowing you to secure lodging if needed. There are a limited number of rooms available at the discounted rate. Book early to secure the discounted rate before the room block fills. 

  The certification tests are generally given twice a year, in January at the annual Montana Green Expo and in July at the annual Summer Tour. The exam consists of a plant identification test and a written test. The exam is based on the Certification Manual and on practical information gained from employment in the industry, and on identification of the correct genus, species, common name, and cultivar (if appropriate) for each plant.
  
  The ID portion of the exam involves identifying 50 plant samples, and is based upon plants covered in Choosing Trees and Shrubs for Montana Landscapes, by George Evans and Alan Epps, as well as lists of Montana perennials and woody plants. These publications and lists are included in the manual. The second portion of the exam is a 200 question written exam on the principles and practices of virtually all aspects of the nursery industry. A passing grade is 75% for both parts of the exam. Bring at least two sharpened pencils to take the exam. We also recommend that you bring several sheets of scratch paper.
  
  Please see the Education & Certification page on our site for details on eligibility and renewal as well as a number of additional forms and how to order your CPP Manual (a highly recommended book for preparing for the exam). Manuals can be purchased online.
