The Wildflower Plant and Seed Growers Association
is a marketing cooperative designed to market and sell Florida wildflower
seed. Formed in the spring of 2003 with eight members, the association
-- more commonly known as the Florida Wildflower Cooperative -- continues
to grow. Each member grower may serve on the board of directors and/or
as an association officer as well as vote on association business.
Native Wildflower Seed Production in Florida,
20 pages, 537 KB
Growers in Florida are producing seed of
native wildflowers that are adapted to Florida's conditions in meadows,
roadsides, natural areas and other non-cultivated sites. Why is that
important? Wildflowers that are native to Florida but are derived
from other parts of the country do not necessarily perform well under
Florida's environmental conditions, especially in non-cultivated
sites like those mentioned above. This brochure is designed for anyone
interested in becoming a wildflower seed producer. It contains information
about species, production practices, facilities and equipment needs
and costs, seed testing and certification, membership in the Florida
Wildflower Cooperative, and information contacts. |
