Nursery and
landscape professionals can
learn the latest about their growing businesses in two in late
October.

The first, for landscapers, will be Oct. 28 in Tallahassee,
Fla. The second, for
nursery professionals, will be Oct. 29 in Cairo, Ga.

The extension services of the University of Georgia and
University of Florida, and the
Georgia Green Industry Association, sponsor the updates.

In the Florida program, sessions will cover new plants,
ornamental grasses and vines,
turf management, cost estimation, common problems, diseases,
insects and other landscape
topics.

Among the nursery topics in the Georgia program will be
container irrigation options,
water reuse and recapture designs, scouting, insect and disease
problems, new plants and
large-container production systems.

The fee for either update is $30, or $35 after Oct. 22.
Lunch will be provided. To
learn more about either program, contact the county
extension office. Or call (912) 386-3416.
