The Board of Directors of the California nursery industry organization formerly known as Plant California Alliance (PCA) is proud to announce the organization has officially changed its name
to the California Association of Nurseries (CAN).

The rebrand reflects both the organization’s deep history and its commitment to providing a strong, unified voice for
California’s nursery industry.

“California Association of Nurseries is instantly recognizable and clearly communicates who we are and what we do,”
said John Keller, Chairman of CAN. “Over the years, we found ourselves continually explaining the Plant California
Alliance name, and the acronym ‘PCA’ created confusion within the agricultural community due to its other industry
meanings. Returning to California Association of Nurseries brings clarity, continuity, and renewed purpose.”🌳🪴🌱
