Georgia Green Industry Association

The rapid growth of Georgia?EUR??,,????'???s green industry has turned a very young association into a thriving one. GGIA produces an annual trade show each January, which includes educational seminars.

GGIA updated a certification exam formerly administered by GNA. The exam is designed for retailers and growers and is a measurement of general horticultural knowledge, pest and disease identification, selling and customer service techniques, and includes a plant identification portion.

Each February, GGIA visits the Capitol, taking a plant to each legislator and staff member. This activity has allowed GGIA the opportunity to educate the elected officials about the scope of the green industry in the state.

The Journal, the monthly publication of the GGIA, includes research reports, legislative updates, marketing tips, new products, and upcoming events in each issue.

All projects of GGIA are directed by volunteer leadership.
