THE RETAIL GARDEN CENTER MANUAL is intended to be both an instructional resource and study aid for an individual seeking to become a CCN Pro, and also as a basic horticulture reference for CCN Pro members and other environmental horticulture professionals in California. Excellent resource for every retail garden center. Official study manual for CCN Pro exams.

THE NURSERY PROFESSIONAL WORKBOOK is a 54-page workbook whose base of technical information is backed up by the new Retail Garden Center Manual. The object of the workbook is to help individuals better understand what is expected of them when taking the CCN Pro examination. The workbook, like the exam, is divided into three sections of general knowledge, plant identification and landscape design. Within these three sections you can find sample quizzes in all three areas and information to help the studying process.

CCN PRO PLANT IDENTIFICATIONS FLASHCARDS make studying for the identification portion of the CCN Pro examination a breeze. The 3 x 4" flashcards test each of the plants listed on the official CCN Pro plant list - botanical names are listed on one side with the common name on the other.

THE TURF WORKBOOK is a great opportunity to learn or refresh your knowledge on all sorts of things regarding turf management. California Certified Nursery Professionals working in the trade can rely on this workbook to help them pass the advanced examination on Turf Management to earn Advanced CCN Pro status. In addition, all CCN Pros successfully completing the included quizzes and lawn calculation problems in this workbook will earn ten (10) continuing education units. Return to CANGC for credit.
