Abstract

A series of 20 informational brochures has been produced cooperatively by representatives from five departments and the horticulture industry. These brochures focus on environmentally sound, residential landscape practices. The brochures are designed for purchase by retail garden centers, nurseries, and landscape contractors for distribution to their customers, providing educational information and freeing employee time from answering questions. An order blank has been prepared, and the material is being promoted through the Virginia Nurseryman's Association and state and regional trade shows. Topics covered are planting shrubs, planting trees, making compost, using compost, storing pesticides, choosing pesticides, pesticide labels, integrated pest management, pruning trees and shrubs, applying pesticides, healthy soil, water-wise landscaping, diagnosing plant problems, fertilizing trees/shrubs, landscaping for less in the landfill, maintaining lawns, establishing lawns, choosing turfgrass, fertilizing lawns, and selecting hand tools.
