The majority of both ornamental crop and food production occurs outdoors.  Although there is significant information on outdoor commecial vegetable and fruit prodiuction, there is little information on outdoor ornamental production (especially flowering plants);  this website aims to provide that information.  

We work with ornamenatl crop growers in warm regions throughout the US (CA, FL, TX and CO).  Through working with these growers we have identified what information woudl be halpful to facilitate outdoor production, and what new research needs to be conducted to facilitate their growth.  Information on outdoor ornamental crop proidcuction can be found here under the "Commcerial Info" subheading.
