Abstract: This is a renewal for three years for the annual Floriculture Survey. After an extensive review process it was decided to expand the survey from 17 states to include all 50 states. In addition, the questionnaires are being expanded to include detailed data for additional plant varieties, based on the findings from the Census of Horticulture. In the past some states have provided supplemental funding to expand their state versions of the questionnaire to include other horticultural commodities. If any state provides funding in the next three year period, then the questionnaires will be adjusted accordingly.
