The Tennessee Master Nursery Producer program (TMNP) and the Advanced Tennessee Master Nursery Producer program (ATMNP) are professional development programs for nursery crops producers. They are designed to provide Tennessee nursery producers with the best information possible in order to enhance their profitability and long-term environmental, economic, and community sustainability. The curricula were developed by the Tennessee Master Nursery Committee under the leadership of the University of Tennessee with representatives from Tennessee State University and the United States Department of Agriculture. The inaugural TMNP class was held in fall of 2012 with 45 growers graduating in January 2013. The ATMNP was launched March of 2019. Both programs are offered exclusively online.
