Top 25 Young Plant Growers List
Greenhouse Grower issues a survey each August to young plant growers in August to determine rankings for the Top 25 Young Plant Growers list. We ask each young plant operation about the number of young plants it produced to sell in 2011 and rank the top 25 based on those findings. We also issue the survey to zero in on trends taking shape and the opportunities and challenges young plant growers are facing today.
