[MPWG] How many jobs & what value native plants?

[De Angelis, Patricia]

 Hello,

Are you aware of any nationwide efforts to determine the monetary value of
the native plant industry from the production perspective (i.e., growers)?

I'm interested in plants produced for restoration purposes but also welcome
leads to info for botanicals or horticultural purposes.

Also, are there any national / statewide statistics or other information to
inform how many jobs are involved in researching, growing-out, and bulking
up of native plants (esp for restoration purposes)?

Appreciate your suggestions. Thank you!
