Licence verification
Is a plant nursery licensed in Mississippi? How to check
Does Mississippi publish a public registry?
Yes. The Mississippi Department of Agriculture and Commerce, Bureau of Plant Industry maintains a public register of licensed nursery dealers and growers. View the registry .
What we hold
- Records on file
- 606
- As of
- 2026-08-04
Fields captured: licence number, business name, address, county, phone, source URL, and this as-of date, for every record.
A "State-licensed" badge only asserts current licensure while its registry file is 90 days old or less; past that, the badge on an affected listing states its as-of date instead of claiming current status.
We do not claim every nursery listed on this site in Mississippi is licensed. Only the 606 businesses matched against this exact registry carry a "State-licensed" badge on their own listing page, each linking back to this registry as its citation.
Licensed by regulatory role
- Dealer: 255
- Grower: 324
- Unclassified: 27
How to verify a specific business
Search our Mississippi directory for the business by name. A "State-licensed" badge on its listing page means we matched it against this exact registry, with the date we checked. If it isn't in our directory yet, check the state's own list directly.
Format
A dated PDF directory of certified nurseries and nursery dealers.
The Mississippi Department of Agriculture and Commerce's Bureau of Plant Industry publishes a PDF directory of certified nurseries and nursery dealers.
We matched the Mississippi businesses shown above against that directory. We pulled it directly on our own check date, and every current match falls inside the 90-day cap described above and shows "State-licensed"; that badge means a match against this exact file as of that date, nothing more. A Mississippi business with no badge at all may hold a real, current certification or license we simply have not matched, whether from a name difference or a business the directory has not yet added.
The bureau's own directory above is the record to check or correct first. This directory's own correction link, on any listing page, lets you flag a wrong or missing match for us to re-check.
Other states we hold a registry for
Only these 11 states publish (or make bulk-extractable) a public licensed-nursery registry we've verified directly. Every other state is silent here on purpose, not overlooked.
