SNA History Book
This publication is a commemorative edition of the History of the Southern Nursery Association (formerly the Southern Nurserymen’s Association) to celebrate the 100th anniversary of its founding. The original version was published in 1974 for the 75th anniversary of the association. Information from the original publication has been included and updated, and current articles added. This publication has been made possible by the SNA Heritage Fund, a fund developed from member donations to support this update, centennial displays during the convention and trade show, and the establishment of a permanent SNA archive at the Cherokee Garden Library located at the Atlanta History Center.
