Slide One:
The Growth of Ohio's Nursery & Landscape Industry
Between 1996 and 2001, the
industry grew 42.3%. Compare the numbers below to see how we've
grown!
1988: $1,250,575,000
1992: $1,603,331,000
1996: $1,959,598,000
2001: $2,787,168,000
The Ohio Nursery and Landscape
Industry represents 5,088 licensed nursery stock dealers and
1,541 nursery stock producers. These businesses are commonly
recognized as: Wholesale Producers, Landscape Installation and
Construction, Landscape Maintenance, Retail Garden Centers, and
Mail Order firms. Their products and services enhance the beauty
and value of Ohio's environment.
*This survey is a significant
underestimate of the total green industry in Ohio since it measures
only the licensed nursery stock dealers and producers. Businesses
such as sod producers, arborists, grounds management companies
and divisions, lawncare companies, etc. are not included in the
survey relative to their revenues and numbers of employees in
Ohio. In addition, due to survey methodology, large discount
chain stores are under-represented in survey responses, thus
further underestimating the size of the green industry in Ohio.
Sales revenue for 2001 was
approximately $2.79 billion.
