Don't Just Stand There - Plant Something! Want to improve your quality of life? Plant something. How’s a plant or tree possibly going to make my life better, you ask? By lowering your heart rate, providing beauty and shade, improving your property value, lowering your energy costs, cleaning the air and water, and creating a more inviting yard and community. Try naming something as easy and inexpensive that can pull all that off. Find a Minnesota Nursery & Landscape Association member near you in our directory.   Find local growers of plants in the Minnesota Grown Directory.   Recycling Program Starting April 15, bring your used, cleaned plastic garden pots to participating neighborhood garden centers. Some MNLA members will take plastic all season, while others will take pots on two special recycling weekends only.
