Bethany Majewski of Liberty Landscape Supply in Fernandina Beach, FL is a member of a group of professionals who are FNGLA Certified Horticulture Professionals (FCHPs).

This designation was earned by Ms. Majewski after an exam that measures horticulture knowledge and professional skills through an extensive written exam. In demonstrating her skills in many areas such as plant identification, disease and insect control, landscape design/management and proper irrigation, the professional designation of FHCP was earned.

Established by the Florida Nursery, Growers & Landscape Association (FNGLA), the FNGLA Certified Horticulture Professional program has been administered since the mid-80’s. The program was designed to increase professionalism among Florida’s growers, landscape professionals and retail employees. This is the industry’s only standard for measuring horticultural knowledge and has been recognized by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection and all five water management districts. The program builds upon Florida Green Industries Best Management Practices and Florida friendly principles.

“When dealing with horticulture professionals, people want someone who has the professional know-how to solve horticulture problems,” says Ben Bolusky, FNGLA Chief Executive Officer. “Individuals who take steps toward certification develop the background needed to answer consumer questions.”

About: Liberty Landscape Supply currently employs a staff of 31 and operates 5 delivery trucks that deliver throughout NE Florida.
