If you are an ornamental nursery or greenhouse grower on California's Central Coast, this September 10th event is for you.
Strong connections among nursery and greenhouse professionals can create opportunities to share research, discuss production challenges, learn from one another, and build relationships across the industry.
To support those connections, UC Cooperative Extension is partnering with the California Association of Nurseries (CAN) to relaunch the CAN Monterey Bay Chapter for ornamental nursery and greenhouse professionals on the Central Coast.
CAN supports California’s nursery industry through advocacy, education, professional development, and industry networking. The Monterey Bay Chapter will provide a local forum for growers and industry partners to connect, exchange ideas, address shared challenges, and help shape future programs and events for the region.
