Certification Info

The New Hampshire Landscape Association offers a voluntary Certification Program for landscape professionals in New Hampshire. The purpose of the program is to increase industry professionalism through further education. Certified members must have worked in the industry for at least three years and have to pass a rigorous exam based on a manual of study and plant identification. To maintain Certification, members need to attend educational conferences and workshops each year.


A group of NHCLPs recently enjoyed a private tour of the Tower Hill Botanical Gardens with tour guide Rick Kimball.Tower Hill is a year-round, living museum displaying the finest plants for cultivation in Central New England, with appeal to both the amateur and professional gardener, as well as the general public.
