The next Certified Plant Professional (CPP) Exam will take place on Thursday, September 10th from 1:00-4:00 pm (the day before the annual Fall Tour), at Glacier Nursery, 4343 Montana Hwy 35, in beautiful Kalispell, MT.

. The certification tests are generally given twice a year, in January at the annual Montana Green Expo and in September at the annual Fall 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 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 of 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 ordered by submitting an
order form
to the MNLA office before August 31st.
Good luck!
