When tomorrow comes this day will be gone forever, but I shall hold something which I have traded for it. It may be no more than a memory, but if it is a worthy one I shall not regret the price.
Throughout the 121-yr. history of the Southern Nursery Association, there were many men and women involved in making the association successful. Many of those names are listed among the SNA Past Presidents and SNA Award recipients. However, there were still many instrumental people that served in one way or another – on education committees, trade show committees, researchers, or volunteers that gave of their time, energy, and their talents. It is difficult to estimate the size and scope of the SNA community over the decades. But to all those who have been a part of the SNA effort, we salute you and thank you for your service.
The Southern Nursery Association has a rich history spanning over 121 years (1899 -2021) . These pages capture and preserve the facts, the moments, and the people for future generations in an effort to honor and protect the legacy for years to come.
