The Hungarian Nurserymen Association was established in 1990 with the participation of 45 nurseries with, in order to coordinate the production and make a professional corporation for business federation. First, our members were only from the western part of Hungary, but for now we possess more nurseries from whole Hungary; producing not only trees and shrubs but specialized on perennials as well. Today the Hungarian Nurserymen Association is the largest in Hungary: it counts 200 members from the total 450 nurseries, among them the largest companies of the country. Our members are producing on approx. 1.800 hectares, which is more than 70 % of the total production area of Hungary. Together with the rich assortment and good quality is to mention the very good cold-tolerance of our plants. Thanks to the continental climate of Hungary and to the temperatures between -25 and +40 degrees the plants produced in our nurseries can cope excellently with the weather conditions in the countries of East and West- Europe as well.

The main aims of the association are the professional supporting and training of our members. In order to improve their skills and possibilities there are many programmes organized and continuously new contacts built with to foreign specialists. There are presentations hold how to solve different problems and many books are published for hobby and professional gardeners. The association is a member in the Hungarian Ornamental Horticulturist Association. Its largest professional program is the yearly HUNGAROGREEN in September. Among the Hungarian exhibitors there are more foreign exhibitors as well. On the HUNGAROGREEN are represented nursery plants, perennials, liners, chemicals, substrates, machines and all kind of tools for nursery production. The association operates the www.plantfinder.hu website, where it mediates its members’ plants only to the professional users (nursery men, traders, landscape gardeners, etc.)
