How is the Horticultural Society of Jamaica doing?

[HL]

Early this spring, I bought about fifteen-- 6" Lantana plants for $6.00 a piece from Home Depot.

During my recent visit, I notice that Lantanas grow wild in Jamaica (in all its cultivars).

I am sure this is true for lots of other types of ornamental plants.

Does Jamaica still exports plants?

Ask the Custos of St. Andrew - Marigold Harding. She is an active horticulturist.

Just think lots of opportunities exists in Jamaica. Many systems need to be maximized.
