Green
Industry of Idaho
In 2000, the Social Science Research Unit (SSRU)
at the University of Idaho conducted a survey of businesses in
the Nursery, Landscape, and floral industries of Idaho. Together,
these businesses make up the horticultural industry (or Green
Industry) of Idaho. The survey was designed to measure the economic
importance and contribution of the Green Industry within Idaho's
economy.
In 2005, the SSRY again conducted this survey.
The purpose of this study was to determine if the size or scope
of the Green Industry in Idaho has changed during the past five
years.
