Landscaper members of the BCLNA fall under the “Active” category, and are companies who operate professional landscaping businesses across a variety of services. Their membership fees are calculated based on annual revenue, and grant them full access to CNLA’s cost-saving benefits and one vote at the Annual General Meeting.
Landscaper members gain access to a wide network of professionals, wholesalers, and suppliers through the BCLNA, while the association advocates strongly on issues such as the Gas-Powered Equipment Ban in Metro Vancouver, reducing the statute of limitations for litigation, and the invasive Japanese Beetle response.
BCLNA is also dedicated to raising the standards and image of professionalism in the landscape industry by providing BCLNA landscaper members certification opportunities through the Landscape Horticulture Certification Program (LHCP), and discounted educational workshops in subjects such as pruning, plant ID, and irrigation, which are eligible for CEUs.
BCLNA is proud to celebrate the high standards in the landscape industry through the prestigious annual BC Landscape Awards of Excellence. BCLNA member companies are able to enter projects in a multitude of categories, and even have the opportunity to move on to the National Awards of Landscape Excellence.
BCLNA also hosts a public facing web page that clients can submit Landscape Service Requests to. These requests are sent out to BCLNA Landscape members only, greatly increasing their business opportunities.
Landscaper members of the BCLNA also have access to a listserve service called PlantSoucer that allows them to source all of their plants by sending one email that goes out to hundreds of member nurseries all over BC.
