I recall not too
long ago some writer on this list recommending Green Fingers. I spent a dozen
years teaching horticulture in a prison myself, so I was a bit skeptical about
this movie, but got to admit, I loved it. Treat yourself to Green Fingers. Lots
of fun!

Subject: RE: [GWL]: $50 billion
industry
Here are the latest numbers we have gotten from NGA
--
Gardening is the most popular outdoor hobby in
America.
According to Bruce Butterfield, head of market
research for the National Garden Association, the Lawn & Garden industry
is estimated to generate more than $50 billion in retail sales annually.That’s twice as much spent on
gardening than on spectator events and three times as much as on
movies.
According to a 1999 economic study by the
US
government (the most recent):
•$16.5 billion was spent on
flowers, seeds and potted plants
•$6.8 billion on
movies
•$7.6 billion on spectator events,
including football, baseball and basketball
Garden writers drive the green
economy.
Ya’ll get ready.Gardening is about to explode!

Gerri,
I
have not seen a NGA survey recently but in the late 90's the total
figure
spent on lawn and garden was something around $26
billion.That figure
does
not include the costs of lawn care by outside
companies which is something
between $6 and $10 Billion.Of the $26 billion my memory is that
over half
is
spent on lawn care - fertilizer and pesticides and lawn mowers mostly.I
think you can say the Americans spend over $20 billion
on lawns one way or
