• Plant of the Year – Each year the Delaware Nursery and Landscape Association selects a woody and herbaceous plant that thrives in Delaware and should receive more attention in the trade.  Plants are suggested by a team of loca professionals and the DNLA board votes on the winners.  A one-page colorful flyer is developed to promote the winners each year.
