“WHAT BEGAN WITH 64 EXHIBITORS IS NOW IN ITS 52ND YEAR”

The Mid-Atlantic Nursery Trade Show, Inc. (MANTS®) was established in 1970 by the Maryland and Virginia Nurserymen’s Associations. The West Virginia Nurserymen’s Association became the third partner in 1972. All three State Nursery and Landscape Associations are equal sponsors of the show.

MANTS is governed by a Board of Directors comprised of three directors from each member state. They meet three times annually, including the day preceding the show. The Board elects its officers – president, vice president, secretary and treasurer at its first board meeting following MANTS, usually in February.
