Economic impact of native plant horticulture increases in Florida

Native plant growers have long felt they're in an uphill battle. But we are making progress. Too slowly, but it is happening.

Per the latest report by University of Florida-IFAS economists, native plants represent about 15.5% of nursery sales, an increase from the last figure of 11% in 2005. The use of Florida-friendly plants, which naturally includes native plants, is on the increase overall. Florida Nursery Growers and Landscape Association (FNGLA) sponsors this Florida environmental horticulture economic survey every 5-10 years.
