Anyone who owns or works for a nursery, greenhouse or landscape
business can find helpful information in any or all three of the
2002 Green Industry Updates the first week in November.

A $40 fee for each one-day program (or $45 after Oct. 22) covers
all classes, handouts, breaks and lunch.

In Brunswick, Ga., Nov. 5, growers and landscapers can find out
the latest in water conservation and management. Over the past
few years, water issues have become critical for the industry.

The update in Quincy, Fla., Nov. 6 targets landscape maintenance
and installation workers. It will focus on new fertilizer
recommendations, planting and mulching guidelines and dealing
with turf stress.

At the Nov. 7 update in Quincy, growers will learn how to manage
their nurseries under increasing scrutiny from regulatory
agencies concerned about water quality and quantity.

The updates are sponsored by the extension services of the
University of Georgia and University of Florida. To learn more,
