Plant Protection - Live Plant Licensing Program
This Division is responsible for inspecting and licensing all plant growers and dealers (including florists and landscapers) in Georgia to ensure that plants for sale are properly maintained, healthy, and free from insect, disease, and weed pests. We also ensure that Federally Listed Noxious Weeds are not being sold or distributed in Georgia. If you are interested in opening a nursery, greenhouse, florist shop, or landscape company, please contact us for a license application.
