Sustainable Agriculture @ URI is, in essence, an information clearinghouse. As such, we have refrained from duplicating the wealth of information available on nursery/ornamentals in favor of providing you with a quick link to some of the resources we consider the most comprehensive and/or user-friendly. If you do not find what you’re looking for, please feel free to contact your extension agent. |
