vue - Commercial Horticulture in Miami-Dade County: Ornamental plants and the nursery industry

Vanessa Campoverde is the Commercial Horticulture industry (plant nurseries) agent at the UF/IFAS Miami-Dade Extension Office. Thanks in part to the great weather, the horticulture industry in Miami-Dade is large and diverse, with more than 1350 nurseries certified by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, producing and distributing ornamental plants to homeowners, other growers, landscapers, and local and national stores and garden suppliers. This is also recognized as the ornamental/green/nursery or environmental horticulture industry. In fact Miami-Dade is the top county in Florida for ornamental plant production and second in the U.S. And UF/IFAS Miami-Dade County Extension exists in this context to assist growers anytime with non-biased research-based data to inform their daily practices and decision-making.
