The Greenhouse and Nursery Handbook: A Complete Guide to Growing and Selling Ornamental Container Plants

I have the 21st century edition of Greenhouse & Nursey Handbook and wouldn't be without it. Although I am retired and am working out of a home greenhouse, I can remember years of working in commercial greenhouses where I would have killed for the info contained in this book. Because of my background in commercial greenhouses, I thought I knew it all.......little did I know. The book is 'user friendly' which is a plus for me and I have used it when giving classes for the Idaho Master Gardening program. I ALWAYS take it to class with me, and recommend it to the students. Not everyone will be able to justify the cost of the book, but if at all possible, suck up to a friend that owns a copy.
