FNGLA Reveals 2011 Industry Award Winners

Each year, the Florida Nursery, Growers and Landscape Association (FNGLA) honors a distinct group of individuals who contribute time and energy to enhance, protect and serve Florida’s nursery and landscape industry through the FNGLA Industry Awards Program.

FNGLA’s Industry Awards program acknowledges both FNGLA and industry service, with varying criteria for each award. Nominations are accepted from the industry-at-large and winners are selected by a committee of industry peers.
