The National Horticulture Foundation takes on the industry’s scientific issues by funding much needed research, and gives out thousands of dollars in annual scholarships to young people interested in the plant business. The National Horticulture Foundation’s all volunteer board of directors is on a mission, to raise $220,000 additional funds by the year 2020! Says current President of the National Horticulture Foundation and President of Foliage Design Systems “I can think of no better cause, than to help our industry through funding research and more importantly, through our scholarship program helping to insure that someone is taking care of the plants for the future”
