During the third term, the Association organized many practical activities such as competitions, displays and exhibitions of ornamental plant products, contributing to creating a useful playground, promoting the movement of artistic creation in the community.

Implementing the policy of the Central Association, the Ornamental Plant Association of Long An province (formerly) closely coordinated with localities to conduct surveys and prepare dossiers to propose recognition of Vietnam Heritage Trees. As a result, 12 dossiers with a total of 29 trees and tree clusters were granted Certificates and Certificates of recognition of the title "Vietnam Heritage Trees" by the Vietnam Association for Conservation of Nature and Environment.
