I am sharing as there are some interesting tips that individuals in the green industry may find useful in their efforts in working with local schools. All concepts in the article are not necessarily endorsed by Cooperative Extension but found to be great food for thought.
For more information contact your local Cooperative Extension Center and ask for the Commercial Horticulture Agent.
