Through this program, the Department of Agriculture inspects nursery stock during propagation, production and sale. This is to assure commercially clean stock with regards to pests, accurate labeling and vigorous and healthy plants for sale to the consumer. Seed is inspected at wholesale and retail sales locations, ensuring that seed lots are labeled correctly and accurately.
How do I get a Nursery License?
Nursery Licenses are issued by the California Department of Food and Agriculture. You can visit the CDFA website to apply for a license to sell nursery stock.
If you sell less than $1,000 of nursery stock annually and sell only in Marin County, our department can issue a fee exempt nursery license. Please contact us for more information.
